City - NY - Tastee's and Macy's 1942 Postcard

Colourized photo from 1942 Original Title: New York, New York. Macy's department store at Herald Square Photographer: Marjory Collins Location: 151 West 34th St. Macy's has had a long history, he started in 1851, where he had his first building built on 14th St. This is his second and largest store, built in 1901. At one point there was a street car line running where that bus is, in fact, that bus has the exact same route as the streetcar did! Now its 1942, WW2 is going on right now, so we see some Uncle Same propaganda, and flags to buy bonds and war stamps. Otherwise it looks the same more or less. If you went back to the 1930's, that hot dog place, was a small place. It seems they expanded quite a bit. Originally this building had a series of pedestal globe lights on the roof and balcony. I can only imagine that they must have blown off at some point, and that's why they don't have them here in this picture or in modern times. In fact today, those balconies don't exist at all. I would imagine that over the years they would be hard to maintain, not much point in leaving them there. But they probably had their own reasons, like maybe, pigeons?

Exactly what I wanted, it is very difficult to acquire Vintage Australiana items. I am so please that I ordered 8 I will be using them for my scrap booking and Junk Journaling. Gorgeous, Zazzle produced and delivered exactly what I wanted.

Way better quality than I ever expected. I love the colours, font and quality of the card. I'm so pleased I found Zazzle as it is near impossible to purchase Vintage or Retro Australian memorabilia online. I chose this design when I purchased them. They are perfect for my projects. I was very specific about what I wanted. I know where to come now when I need to order similar items.

Perfect for the occasion I was using it for. I was able to delete the lines so I could put in more wording. Had an envelope so the address side wasn't necessary. Print quality and paper quality lovely.
