This is postmarked Dec 31, 1-AM 1907 from St. Louis MO

Addressed to:

Miss Verna Loonam (I think, post mark partially covers)
St. Charles, MO
c/o Bell Telephone Ofc.

Says simply:

A Happy New Year-
Veneta

PS–I am excited to report that a family member (from Ireland!) has found my site and has given me some information about the card. 

New Year’s Greetings – this card would have been addressed to Loverne Loonam.   The other one As time Rolls By was addressed to her sisiter Mary R Loonam.  The sisters died in the 1950s. They were spinsters.

I have included the backs of these two cards. (One is in post below.)

It reads:  Hope you will be up soon. 

Your friend,
J.K.B.
