The postcards were given away at the St. Louis World's Fair to advertise the cigarettes. At the fair, Dr.Pepper, cotton candy, ice tea, peanut butter, and waffle style ice cream cones were first introduced to people.

RAILROAD POSTMARK 1917 BOOKMAN, SOUTH CAROLINA
This mail was carried on a train that run between Greenville and Columbia S.C.. That line is no longer in use. Also I don't think the Bookman post office exists any more.
RAILROAD POSTMARK 1939 DENVER AIRMAIL FIELD
It appears this card was postmarked on a railroad train because it has rms in the killer bars. From the text on the card the people most likely placed the card in the mail in LA, CA and the card was to be delivered to family in Independence, Kansas. Why is it post marked Denver Colo Air Mail Field? Was the card placed on a air plane in Denver to complete its journey to Independence or did it continue on rail to Independence?

Girls High School Anderson S.C.
I thought it was interesting that it was a girl’s high school. I would appreciate any history you may know about the school, such as, is the school still standing? If so, what is its current name? Was it an all girl’s school? Was it a public school? Any help will be appreciated.
