Have you seen the Bad Postcards tumblr yet? You really should. Exhibit A.
RIB FRACTURES CRAMPING YOUR SOCIAL LIFE?
Never Again!A spectacularly bad postcard…and one not yet in my collection. So I need to give credit to Postcard Collector for this image which was posted in a recent discussion.
It advertises OTC Professional Appliances, “Designed for Doctors’ Prescriptions.” I have two others in this series. I will post one later today that is just as bizarre.
If you’re interested in knowing more about postcards and their history, PostcardCollector.org has lots of articles and discussions on the subject.
On the back of this card: “save that roll of tape, Doctor…prescribe comfortable OTC rib belts for your rib-fracture cases…easily removable for bathing, examination, or dressing…foam rubber padded or flannel-lined.”
