Valley View Cottage looks like a nice place to rent a room for a day or two.

But not this past week - no A/C!

It's a truly odd card until you look at the date - it's New Years Day --- Jan 1, 1908

Drum Corp......probably at what was then the college in Shippensburg.

When I first saw this card I could see it was clearly marked as a Laughlin Studios card; but it was one that I had never seen before. But it was listed/cataloged in the primary numbers series.....3-4 others that I have not seen before apparently exist from that same date.

From our perspective, it doesn’t seem to have a purpose , nor any relevant message, imho . It just stares.

I think you're looking for something that's not there - nothing serious is intended.

It's just a bit of silly celebration of the New Year; there's no "message" beyond that. I'd wager fairly confidently that one could find no shortage of displays of recorded excess and inexplicable silliness associated with New Year's activities.

It's probably better than all those cards showing people that are apparently unable to smile or express any other emotion than stoic acceptance of their total insignificance.

Nice picture of a smaller engine pulling possibly a 2 or 3 car passenger train.

Would make an excellent scene for a smaller layout

Might have to selectively compress that bridge span a bit, but yes, excellent.

Those at the bottom of pyramids rarely are happy with their position & condition.
