Happy Thanksgiving #ThrowbackThursday!
This postcard shows a black and white photograph of a family standing in a general store or butcher shop. There are sausages and cuts of meat hanging on the walls. The man and woman both wear aprons and stand behind a counter with a large scale on it, weighing a turkey, while two children stand in front of the counter.
