High up in the Catskills
Given the Cats-kills name it is not surprising that there is a wide array of historical “cat” related postcards and marketing materials for the region. The cats often depicted tourists as they partook in various vacation activities or were dressed to the nines in high fashion. The cats could be found driving cars, flying planes, going hiking or riding in cat-pulled wagons.
In this particular vintage postcard, two cats are enjoying the Catskill Mountain views from the top a fire tower, or lookout tower. In the distance two cats can be seen starting their ski runs from the top of a mountain.
The postcard was published by Geo. Greenberg & Son, located at Catskill, New York. The postmark on the reverse side shows that it was mailed in 1955.
