Some cool business card size images:
One thick book

In case you were wondering how thick these bound-up copies of bond prospectuses are, here's one bond book on its side, compared to the width of a standard-size business card. The bond issue in this case was for 3 million in bonds issued by the City of Houston.

Each the size of a business card. For Ma-mé.

Going through my desk tonight I found this old photo of my great grandfather. It's a small little photo about the size of a business card. I think I rescued this from an album my grandmother had.
From some other photos taken on the same day, my guess is that this was taken in the late 40's. So the car he's sitting in was already old. And I'm not sure that it is his. I think he's just hamming it up for the camera.
WIlliam L. Harper was on the School Board and later was a State Representative in Georgia. He did not stay in politics very long though. My mother always told me it was because he was too honest. He owned a general store for a long time and a gas station as well.
I loved visiting his house as a kid. He and my great grandmother had a big white house on a hill in Eillijay. It had a huge kitchen, big porches, and a long stairway. There was a big garden in the back, a garage filled with old tools, and a root cellar with my grandmother's canned goods.
After he and my great grandmother passed, the house became a bed and breakfast. Sadly it burned to the ground a few winters ago. Only the chimneys were left.
I don't know for sure who took this. Perhaps my grandfather, his son-in-law. And I have no idea about the camera. The back of the photo simply says it was printed on Kodak Velo Paper.
Anyway, posting this was a spur of the moment thing, and a nice break from my own work, plus I really like this snapshot.
