This is an image of the former city hall for the city of Saginaw, Michigan. It was built in 1891 after the merger of Saginaw and East Saginaw, and was on S. Washington Ave.

The building was destroyed by fire on April 9, 1935, and replaced by the current City Hall structure on the same site.
This card was used and is dated 29 October 1909. The card is in poor condition, with tears and folds. The corners are not original, and were cut by the recipient.

This image shows the spot known as Rock Point in the foreground, and the Middle Island of the Presque Isle chain in the background. The island chain juts out from the shore at Marquette, Michigan and was developed as a park by Frederick Law Olmstead, who also designed Central Park in New York.
There is no description on the back of the card.
This card was used and sent from Marquette. The person addressing the card did not have the clearest handwriting, and it was mis-sent to Farwell, where it was re-cancelled and forwarded on to the town of Lowell. It is dated 24 July 1914.

This card has an image of the Hackley Public Library building as it looked at the turn of the 20th Century. The building is much larger than it appears from the photo, enclosing over 27,000 square feet of space. It is still in use as a library.

There is no description on the back. As was common in the early days of postcards, there is a message on the front, but not the back, which has only the address, stamp and cancellation.
This card is dated 4 September 1909.
 

This image shows the well-known landmark in the downtown of Grand Rapids, Michigan. It is a memorial to the soldiers who took part in the American Civil War from the Grand Rapids area. The statue has been moved recently a small distance within the park, and now stands overlooking the junction of Fulton and Division Streets at the center of the city.
The monument is unusual as it was the first to include a built-in fountain, and also commemorates the activities of women during the Civil War.
This card was used and is dated 28 April 1914.

This card shows a factory as it looked near the beginning of the 20th century. It is clearly labelled Alma Manufacturing, and was located in Alma Michigan. It apparently produced woodworking machinery, steam and gasoline engines during its history.

There is no description on the back of the card. This company was renamed in 1913 to Alma Motor Truck Company, so this image predates that event. This card was used, and is postmarked 14 April 1913.

This image is a view of Grand Rapids near the turn of the 20th century, as indicated by the clothing styles and transportation modes typical of that era.

The sideways caption reads:
Monroe St. Looking S.E., Grand Rapids Mich. 1369
The final number is the series identification. The landmark department store called Herpolsheimer’s is clearly visible in the center background due to the common habit of painting signs on the exposed sides of tall buildings. This building was left vacant by the company and another department store, Wurzburg’s, moved into the vacated space.
This card was used and is dated 10 August 1907.

This image, almost identical to the previous post, shows the pumping station for the Battle Creek Water Works and the main building more clearly on the left, omitting the boaters.

There is no description on the back of the card, only the mark of the publisher, noted above. There are faint cancellation marks across the sky, and a tear above the chimney at left.
The pumping station and water works no longer exist in this location. There are two women visible in the center of the image walking at the edge of the lake shore.
The postcard was used, and is dated 11 September 1910.

This image, a black and white photo manually colored for postcard use, is of a couple rowing on Goguac Lake in Battle Creek. There is a pumping station for the city water system in the right background.

There is no description on the back of this card. The lake is spring fed, and the water level rises and falls with the seasonal rainfall.
This card was used and is dated 2 August 1915.
