High Up in the Catskills, Catskill Mts., N.Y.
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, five cats are flying in a brightly colored airplane named “Catskill Mt. Line.” The postcard was published by the Kingston News Service located at Kingston, New York.
The postcard was mailed to Margaret and Alfred Klein of Jersey City, New Jersey. The writing reads “Isn’t this plane and passengers catsy. Will see you soon. Home was never like this. Ha! Ha!” The postmark date on the reverse side is illegible.
