She encouraged anyone who might have some to contact her so that she can include them in the exhibit. A large picture of Mr. and Mrs. Marcus M. Carpenter rests on an easel in front of the display cases. The Carpenters used to live in the house where the old Postcards from around the 1920s are also included in the exhibit.; One postcard, from 1915, includes a love poem written in the margins around the picture.
