Vintage Postcards from 1908 - 1940s page 1

Since posting the picture from the South Side City Mission interest so many people I thought I'd scan and post some postcards that were given to me by my Aunt Kathy. The postcards had been in the possestion of my Grandmother Helen (Klassen) Heinrichs. They date from 1908 till the 1940's. They come from locations mainly in Colorado and Minnesota with senders and recipients being members of my father's family with names like Klassen, Heinrichs, Wiebe and Braun. Some of these are written in German script and if you are able to read it, I sure would appreciate knowing what they say. I'll not post all of them at once, probably just four at a time, so be sure to come back if you like what you see.
