Cozy Drive In - Print of hand-drawn card from artist Bob Waldmire.  Route 66 was certified in 1926 when the nation adopted a numbered system of cross-country, inter-state roads. Fully paved by 1936, Route 66 became an important and legendary highway, "immortalized" in literature, music and on television.  Gradually "replaced" by huge homogeneous interstates, 66 was decertified in 1985, ceasing to exist "officially."  But well over 80% of the old road is still drivable -- so, travel back in time, and leave the stress behind -- on the interstates... and then, you too will say:  "I still get my kicks on old Route 66!" Postcard is new, unused and in excellent condition.

Onstot's Cooper Shop PostcardOnstot's Cooper Shop - Text on back: Interior of Onstot's Cooper Shop, Lincoln's New Salem, Illinois. Henry Otstot, cooper, erected this shop while operating the Rutledge Tavern in 1834. A year later he built his residence to the west and lived there until 1840. Abraham Lincoln and Isaac Onstot, the eldest son, were friends and studied together here by the light of the fire kindled by the cooper's shavings. In 1840 this shop was moved to Petersburg, where Onstot carried on his business for many years. Latter weather-boarding was added on the exterior, larger windows were installed, and it was used as a residence until 1922, when it was purchased by the Old Salem Lincoln League, stripped of its weather-boarding and re-erected on its original site. It is now restored to its former exterior appearance. Lincoln's New Salem Enterprises, Inc. Petersburg, Illinois.
