This postcard was postmarked in Rockport on July 31, 1909. The sender writes that the day before had been “96 degrees in the shade.”

I cannot make out the gold letters on the black sign above the store behind the wagon, but the white lettering in the window says, “Salada Tea.” Note the trolley tracks in the foreground.

The postcard was published by E.C. McIntire of Gloucester and printed in Germany.
