Summary

Description Postcard shows actress Lillian Russell in a paid promotional ad for the Northern Pacific Railway. Russell is depicted against a worker with many sacks of potatoes which would be used for the railway's dining cars. Someone else who apparently intended to send the card and whose trip seemed to be not as happy, wrote "This is Bunk" on it.
