Ostrich farm, California

 

 

 

 

Ostrich farms raised birds to sell their feathers (plumes), meat and leather, but they also promoted tourism. Ostriches pulled carts and carriages, and there were tours, clothing, and souvenirs for sale. The location of this farm in California is unspecified, and there were 10 in the Los Angeles area alone by 1910, before ostrich plumes went out of fashion. The publisher's number in the upper right corner is 2020. This card has a divided back, meaning it was made in or after 1907.
