'Turnback Tuesday' features postcard highlighting Derby

This week's 'Turnback Tuesday' features a postcard advertising the great town of Derby. Postcards were an inexpensive way to correspond with a loved one or friend, so many towns and cities would have these cards readily available. 
This particular postcard is called a "divided back," having two sides. 
The right side is used for the address and the left side is for messages.

*Thanks as always to the Derby Public Library staff for sharing interesting local history each week.
