"This is our new Dodge car, wish you was here to take a ride with us. Elmer"
My note -- "Elmer McMurtry, son of Wm Ford's sister Cecelia"
William Ford was the father of my great-grandmother, Nancy Ford Thomas. His sister, Cecelia McMurtry, lived in New York. Elmer and Wilsie are two of her sons, from whom I have several photo postcards in our Thomas family archives.

Author's note: I invoke a curse on whoever invented photo albums with black construction paper pages, and whoever invented glue with which to affix photographs to those photo albums. You can see the evidence of such tomfoolery on quite a few of the pictures I'll be posting in this series.
