You are bidding on a book of Indiana's 92 counties depicted in post cards, mostly from the early years of the twentieth century.T are at least five postcards (in most cases six) representing each county. 300 communities in 538 pictures."Greetings from Randy Harris for Indiana" was created as a promotional piece for my friend's unsuccessful grassroots campaign for Governor. The books were distributed at his 250 plus speaking engagements, mostly in 2003. I was active in his campaign with access to the remaining books in storage. He has no plans for a similar campaign and agreed to let me offer them to you -- so they are, new and fresh out of the box.The book is made up of many real photos and almost all cards are pre-1950. The reproduction of each card in the book measures 3" by 4 3/4."The 100 paged black and white paper backed coffee table book measures 11" x 11." The counties are placed in alphabetical order so each page corresponds with your license plate prefix. It is a great conversation piece and something that connects with all Hoosiers. It is a must for all fans of Indiana history or post card collectors.On the pages shown t is a "Harris for Indiana" masking across the page, which does not appear in the book.The books were previously listed on ebay under the name of "postcardbook" /postcardbook/ The counties and pictures include: 1) Adams County A) Adams County Court House, Decatur; Built 1872 B) Business Section, Decatur; Circa 1920 C) Second Street North, Decatur; Mailed 1908 D) Greetings from Geneva, Circa 1908 E) "The Largest Mennonite Church in The United States," Berne, Postmarked 1947 2) Allen County A) Court House, Fort Wayne, Postmarked 1908 B) State Home, Fort Wayne, Postmarked 1915 C) The Odd Fellows Lodge at Monroeville, Circa 1920 D) Interurban Station, Fort Wayne, Postmarked 1910 E) Lincoln Highway Arch, Fort Wayne, population 90,000, Postmarked 1919 F) Main Street in New Haven, 1911 3) Bartholomew County A) Bartholomew County Jail and Court House, Circa 1940 B) "This is the way we bake our bread."
