Early postcards are favorites, depicting scenes from the East Coast to the West Coast and every stop in between. These include calendars, ink blotters, paper rulers, and reference items like the seeding schedule given to farmers visiting the feed mill, from Northland Farm Seeds it states, given when purchasing their yearly seeds for planting. These items all contained advertising, and were often given at the end of the year, so the people being given them would remember to shop and frequent their establishments throughout the coming year. When someone collects paper and ephemera, the one problem they often run into is what to do with what they have collected. Different display options will depend on what exactly you have.
Magazines are one of the most difficult to display, especially if the collection is large.
Ones collected for their covers can be framed and hung in groupings. Those that you collected because you enjoy the interior of them can be placed out in small amounts on a side table, with the remainder stored. Be sure to keep small children away if you cherish these though. Postcards and greeting cards are also perfect items to frame. If these are older cards, be sure to use glass that will protect them from fading.
