1.Carnegie Library
in Waco, razed, no date. For many years
the entire back of US postcards was "for address only" and
messages had to be scribbled in what little space was left on the
front. People were known to pay a little more for these cards and
this was known as "buying on margin". If, however, you were
laconic like Will, there was room to spare. |

2. Will was impressed enough with the Waco library to send two images
to a Mrs. Kelly in Temple. Sent in August of 1907, I’m sure she was
astonished by the weather report from nearly 35 miles away. At first
we thought the crack in the façade was the result of geologic shifting,
but we called Mr. Balcones and he said; "It’s not my fault." |
