Miss Clara McElroy lived in East Liverpool, a city on the Ohio River in eastern Ohio – near the intersection of Ohio, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia.

Through the early 20th century, East Liverpool had a very prosperous pottery industry.

In February of 1911, Clara received a romantic postcard from A. I. Miller.

The postcard was mailed from Cleveland, the large and prosperous center of industry, commerce, and transportation on the Cayuga River at Lake Erie.

The face of the postcard bears a photograph of a young woman on a swing.

The lass, wearing a white lacy dress, leans toward a young man standing beside the swing.

The two are sharing a kiss.

It seems to be summertime, as the lad has rolled up the sleeves of his shirt, and he does not wear a jacket.

Likewise, the girl’s dress has short sleeves.

The amorous scene is surrounded by a border of embossed dots.

On the reverse, the sender acknowledges the welcome receipt of a postcard from Clara, but notes that it was “a long time coming”.

The sender promises to “call on you and Zelma” “the next time I come to Wellsville.”

Wellsville, a village on the Ohio River – about five miles northeast (and upriver) on the Ohio River.

In the early 20th century, Wellsville was an important shipping center for the Pennsylvania Railroad and for Ohio River shipping.

Clara preserved the postcard in good condition throughout her life.

One hopes that the correspondents were able to meet in East Liverpool or Wellsville, and that they maintained a regular exchange of postcards.
