On the other side is a note from "Your Mother" to "B". This too speaks of a far different time, when all that was needed was the name and town for mail to be delivered. Thanks for sharing an important picture of Ruston's past, Jim!

Smelter in 1908
Jim Wingard shared this postcard ~ 1908 vintage. Photos of the smelter before the Guggenheim's took over in about 1912 are pretty rare. This shot looks like it was taken from somewhere in Old Town. You can see other industrial workings on the Ruston shoreline, perhaps some of the logging operations that once filled this side of Commencement Bay.
