New Photo of Hudson Factory

Unknown

I recently acquired on eBay an old postcard that is an aerial picture

(probably hand-tinted black and white photo) of the Hudson Motor Co. in

Detroit, MI.



The postmark on the reverse side, also smudged, seems to indicate that

the postcard was mailed April 17, 1920. It appears to be written "back

home' by someone just hired to go to work at Hudson.



There is a plume of smoke coming from one chimney that clearly was added

with a water color paint brush. Interesting change in attitude! In those

days smoke coming from a stack was a symbol of industrial progress.

Today it's considered bad stuff.



I have posted images of both the front and back side of the postcard at
