Old Postcards from New York City to Back Home #18: Herald Square, 1909

'Tis been a while since we posted any "Old Postcards from New York," almost a year actually. The last one was back on 09/14/09. I recently obtained just a few more, so I'll share them over the next few weeks. It'll kinda take the place of the "King's Views of New York" for now I guess.

This first one is really great...it's 99 years old. I paid $1.oo for it.
