Where Postal Cards Are Made.

The modest plant that turns out mill tons of postal cards every month foi Uncle Sam is located in a little West Virginia mountain town, high up in the Appalachian range, not far from the border line of Maryland. The town is Piedmont, Mineral County, W. Va„ and here the busy factory is at work six days in the week making the little oblong sheets of cardboard on which so many messages of all sorts and kinds are written by all conditions of people, Here the cardboard is made from the fresh, sweet spruce trees; here it is cut into the requisite sizes, and here ths cards are printed, packed and shipped.
