Sweethearts at the Cawston Ostrich Farm, California

 

circa 1909

 

 

Two ostriches with different colored plumage stand together in a paddock. Although Cawston's Ostrich Farm raised birds to sell their feathers, they also had a tourist business partially promoted through streetcar lines that ran to the farm. Ostriches pulled carts and carriages, and there were tours, clothing, and souvenirs for sale. The publisher's number on the divided back of this untraveled card is 4267. Another number upside down in the stampbox is 64878.
