Postcard 42: Postmarked Jan 21st, 1946, Marion Ind. (On Collecting)



McKinley Home Church, Canton, Ohio
.
Hello. Hope this church view from Ohio is o.k.
Yes, I have Calif. pals, both card and
pen pals. I have a few pals who ex-
change more than 1 card at a time but
it is hard for me to do so as we don't
have many different views here. I'm
clerking in a down town drug store. Like
it fine but get so very tired. It is very
interesting work. Meet all kinds of people.
Snowed here all day and doing it
yet real hard. Look for a big one
this time. Don't you
think Jan. is going
fast. Sincerely
