Throughout the years, the way people make a living has changed
dramatically, beginning with farming and agriculture, and ending with
the age of computers. This new postcard history showcases images of the
state at work in the first 25 years of the twentieth century. Images
show farmers in the rice fields, using horses and steam tractors, and
harvesting cotton, hay, and corn. Later cards focus on the loggers who
radically changed the landscape forever. Merchants and bankers of
business, including pharmacies, were popular postcard fare as well;
these establishments served the farmers who traveled into town,
especially on Saturdays when the streets were filled with wagons, and
later, cars.
