Thanksgiving cards are a world unto themselves, but I've only scanned a few of mine:
The grouchy bird who shows all:
Ole grouchy's card was postmarked Windfall IN (wiki 2010 pop 708):
An inexplicable group photo of, what, vultures?
A little girl with her two guardian angels:

And copying ikeyPikey by going to the club meeting that he had to miss in favor of the kid getting extra lab time for her Anatomy & Physiology course.
OTOH, I got to go to the Long Island Model Railroad Engineers open house, BTAT (But That's Another Thread).

http://www.metropostcard.com/publishersw.html ... Our first card is copyright 1911 by John Winsch:
"John O. Winsch 1910-1915 Stapleton, NY
A very important publisher of artist signed and holiday cards. They are especially known for their Halloween and Thanksgiving cards. Winsch used European artists to work directly with his German printer. (most likely Obpacher Bros.). Samuel L. Schmucker was one of their better known artists who created the Winsch Girl. Fred Kolb, Katherine Eilliot, Charles Levi, and James Frexas also created cards for them. They produced almost 4,000 different designs, many of which were issued in sets. Though most of their cards were manufactured in Germany, some were printed in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Many of their cards do not carry the firms name, though they all have a similar graphic design on their backs. Other publishers however took advantage of this and began using a similar back hoping to mislead customers and capitalize on the higher prices that Winsch cards fetched. Winsch was the co-manager of the Art Lithographic Publishing Company in 1915, but his exact tenure is uncertain. He seems to have resumed publishing postcards under his own name sometime after the end of World War One until about 1925."
It is very difficult to describe just how stunningly gorgeous this card really is, what with the gradations of largely monochrome grays in the feathers, the elaborate embossing, etc.
I'm not even going to try to apologize for posting this large an image:
Q/ There are Thanksgiving jingles? Who knew?
Q/ Is the message here that the kids will go hungry until somebody kills that bird?
Not sure I get the pun, as it seems that Uncle Sam is about to relieve The Ruler Of The Day of that scepter ...

Here's a 1906 card I found accidentally today. I pulled the Springfield, NJ card out of the New Jersey Collection to scan and found it!

Those are pomegranates, not apples ... not too often you see pomegranates on a postcard, unless its for Rosh HaShanah.

Q/ So what's with the little boy's slice of bread?
Q/ Is it the poor person's filler, as he awaits the holiday feast?
Q/ Did little boys often go for a walk with a slice of bread in-hand?
Funny how something that was probably obvious at the time can be harder to get a grip on just one hundred years on.

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you celebrating today. I am thankful for all of the turkey producers in the USA. Here is some turkey trivia for you to share today...
Q) What state produces the most turkey in the USA?
A) Minnesota... see map below.
