Message in part: 'I suppose you will know these fellows all right.' The addressee may be a descendant from the Thomas Huston after which the town was named.

The earliest photo in the BAI Photographic Collection of the current Animal Science Institute dates to 1913, so we daresay this image is fairly early for the subject mater. $17.50 aa NEW / NEU / NOVA

"WALTER A. WOOD / FARM MACHINES / NOT MADE BY A TRUST" uncaptioned Azo (triangles up) sepia-tone real photo postcard, upper corner crease, slight pushpin indent at top center, minor corner wear. Our caption relates the sign at the left end of the building. While no caption date, annotation, or postmark is there to guide us, the card is necessarily late 1907 or later because of its divided back. Keeping in mind the headline-grabbing trust-busting activities of President Teddy Roosevelt during his September 1901 -  March 1909 presidency, we thus have a fairly confident estimate this photograph was taken late 1907 - early 1909. Possibly unique: no caption, no publisher information, no photographer attribution.
