    Got this RPPC yesterday at an estate auction. Was wondering if anybody could perform some internet search wizardry like they have in the past and give me an idea of where this store was located. Fairly early divided back postcard, unfortunately unused. Signs for Owl Cigars and the U.S. Army in the background. Many thanks,
    Joe

    'Wisconsin had the highest population of Fleisner families in 1880' per ancestry.com

    Or does it say 'Fleisher'?

    Don't mind me. Under time pressure & not reading thoroughly.

    I would assume the "Help Wanted for the United States Army" would place it in the World War I years.

    Somewhere in Jefferson County, Kansas according to this. The "Imp." stands for "Implement" and not "Import."

    Looks like the configuration of stars on the flag (46) places it near 1908 through circa 1912 when that style changed to 48.
