Happy Birthday November Babies Vintage Postcard Greetings

This beautiful vintage postcard wishes all the November babies Happy Birthday.

Post card is divided and unused.

If you were born in November your birthstone is Topaz, Flower is Carnation

Persons born in this month are very intense in their nature.  They throw themselves heart and soul

into their work, and wear themselves out by to great ardor.  The music of the spheres can be heard by

these persons. It rests with the persons themselves whether these priceless gifts are developed or not.

They can only be acquired by self control, abstemiousness or not.  The women usually rule their

households.  They are good mothers but apt to be impatient and blunt of speech.


This postcard will be listed on eBay

Vintage Postcard Minneapolis Minnesota Nankin Chinese Restaurant

Among my vintage postcards is this one of Nankin Chinese Restaurant in Minneapolis Minnesota

Post card is colorful and shows inside interior pictures plus the outside door area

Offered since 1919 Chinese American Food




The following is part of an article written by Rick Nelson of the Star Tribune which was updated

February 25, 1999

Walter James founded the restaurant in 1919 at 14 S. 7th St., now the site of the Dayton-Radisson 

parking ramp. He opened a second Nankin in downtown Chicago in 1933, where it stayed for 15 years

before moving to suburban Skokie. In 1949, James sold the Minneapolis Nankin to the Golden and 

Chalfen families, which also had interests in Holiday on Ice and the Minneapolis Lakers

 basketball team.

The Nankin moved across the street to 15 S. 7th St. in the late 1950s. In 1981, it relocated to City 
Center. US Restaurants, the company behind the Green Mill chain, were co-owners briefly in the late
 1980s. The Wu family, founders of the Szechuan Star Restaurant in Edina, have owned the Nankin for
 the past 10 years.
Their lease expired the end of January 1999 and the restaurant sadly closed. 
You can read the rest of the article here
Perfect addition to anyone's collection of vintage restaurants from Minneapolis of 
restaurant postcard collectors.  Offered for sale on eBay at this time
Thanks for stopping by to see my postcard, please take a moment and search others I have posted.

Postcard 1907 University of Minnesota Football Players Northrop Field

I am going through boxes of Minnesota postcards I purchased a couple of months ago.


 
This is a great 1907 post card of Northrop Field University of Minnesota with football players on the field.
Will be listing on an eBay auction tonight. Wonder what else I will find in these boxes of over 2000 postcards.
I think this one is extra special not only for the university fan but for any one with interest in genealogy that had family going to school that year.
