ORIGINAL REAL PHOTO POSTCARD, FEATURES: WOMEN'S TEMPERANCE UNION FALL FESTIVAL BAZAAR ~ BATTLE CREEK, MICHIGAN. Card is from private collection from Battle Creek resident True Van Auken (my granddad)...and features my grandmother Nettie Van Auken. My grandmother died in 1942. Congregationalists were more susceptible to liberal influences expressed in voluntary societies which were non-denominational and cooperative. They saw their purpose as reforming society. They found works more important than doctrines. Their goals included temperance, peace and freedom, in particular, the abolition of slavery. PHOTOGRAPHER: UNKNOWN CONDITION: FINE.... Photo image remains excellent, crisp details. Card edges appears to have moderate aging wear. Card face has a tiny bit of blurring in the lower left front quadrant. Many booths are decorated and goods can be seen for sale. There appears to be some neat "Harper's Bazaar" posters hanging from one booth, and some old books for sale as well as handwork. Many ladies seen in the photo. My grandmother is the lady in the white blouse in the far left hand upper corner. She was a member of the Women's Christian Temperance Union and this was their fall festival bazaar sale in the church hall. She was a member of the First Congregational church of Battle Creek. REAR VIEW: Back is divided. CYKO stamp box read more
