This weekend folio has an old family connection. The owner of this establishment has the same name as my great-grandmother, and was likely her brother.
This folio is very old, and as such has no description printed on it. The address noted on the cards still exists, and can be viewed with Google street view, but there is another business there now, and likely has been for a long time.
The presence of garlands in most photos implies the pictures were taken around Christmas time, but it is not possible to identify the era any closer. The photos most likely date from the 1930s.
This collection covers public works, natural wonders and historical attractions from throughout the state of Alabama.

This weekend features a postcard folio of the educational institution where my great uncle C A Jacokes taught as a Math professor most of his professional life. I don’t list his full name since he didn’t have one. He was named C A on his birth certificate and was always referred to by the family as C A.
This folio is dated 1960, which was just after North Park renamed itself as a College. in 1997 it was retitled again to North Park University, while remaining in its original location in the Chicago suburbs and its original function as the sole seminary for the Evangelical Covenant Church.
Mentioned in the descriptive text is North Park Academy, a high school program operated by the College. It was closed after graduation ceremonies in 1969.

Today introduces the postcard folio type. This is a collection of images in a single postcard cover, intended to be sent as a complete package. As such it differs from the postcard package, which is an accordion folded collection of postcards meant (and marked) to be sent individually, though bought as one item.
This particular folio is of the Winter Garden, Florida area and environs. It was printed on a linen texture paper to give a more cloth look, a process created by Curt Teich and Co., Chicago IL.
This particular collection is copyright 1951, so the photos probably predate the copyright. Other pictures are of prominent civic buildings and landmarks, as well as the famous Cypress Gardens water skiing show.
