Paul’s 1917 business postcard carries its route on the address side

This address side bears the P. Reichenbach business heading, telephone number 116, a Leipzig destination and a 1917 postmark. Postal workers and the recipient handled the family-held card as it crossed from Halberstadt. It establishes the business correspondence and route, but not the goods ordered on the other side.
