Here Is News From The Catskill Mountains, N.Y.
Given the Cat-skills 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, a cat walks along a dirt road selling a newspaper titled “Catskill Mountain News.” The front page of the newspaper shows a wanted poster, with the criminal looking much like our beloved Mickey Mouse.
The postcard was published by the Kingston News Service located at Kingston, New York. The postcard was never mailed.
