Postcards were first developed in the 1870 s as(43)promotional advertisements for hotels, resorts, and other businesses. In 1906,(44)the United States Congress passed laws allowing messages to be written on one half of the back side of postcards, in effect encouraging people to substitute them for short letters. From that point on,(45)the use of postcards rose steadily from about 770 million that year to almost 1 billion 3 years later. Manufacturers sprang up to meet the demand. By 1909, the Illustrated Postcard Company alone was producing 3 million a day.
Postcards were more than a means of communication. Like stamps, they became collector’s items to be bought, sold, and traded.(46)Many people used postcards to acknowledge the receipt of letters and to promise a quick response. They also became a means for travelers to update friends and family on how a trip was progressing or to offer a photographic glimpse of their destinations.
