Minnie E. Brooke not only published postcards, but also ran a Tea House just outside the Washington D.C, line in Chevy Chase, Maryland. She used her background in publishing to promote her tea house on the postcard seen below. |
The vast majority of Minnie's postcards had no descriptive text on the back of the card. Here is one of the few exceptions (#22) along with a 'normal' back. |
Minnie's had a "Post Card Parlor" on F Street in Washington D.C., below is a postcard sized add for her store. It uses the image from postcard # 76. |
Minnie's publisher used the image from postcard # 6 to advertise his publishing company. |
