Photo Number 304

This is a Real Photo Postcard, it is an Azo with four triangles pointing up..so it is from 1904 to 1918.

It is addressed to Miss Myrtle Hooke ( Haake or Hoake) 509 NE Oak Street Brainerd, Minn..I wonder if she ever got this postcard..perhaps she is in the photo..we will probably never know.  I searched in Minnesota for her and came up empty handed.
Now what do you suppose this occasion was..Confirmation?  A class at a small school?  This photo does not say “family” to me..does it to you? 
Thanks for stopping by, do come again:)
Update: Thanks to Iggy!

Iggy also had a question about Real Photo Postcards, about why an unknown event would inspire a postcard??? ..here is my answer. 
In 1902 Kodak made the paper to print a negative onto a postcard..you could order as many as you wanted..to mail to friends. Traveling photographers would do the post cards too..but usually of towns and special events. In 1903 a special camera that used postcard size film enabled everyone that could afford the camera the ability to make any photo they took into a postcard!


Update: September 08, 2010:  I received a name and address from Iggy and I have sent off a copy of the postcard and an inquiry to an individual who may be Myrtles son..we will see what we hear:)
