Westcliff-on-Sea - Happy Valley Prior to 1910. And President Taft.

            The Postcard

A postcard bearing no publisher's name that was posted using a ½d. stamp on Wednesday the 30th. March 1910. It was sent to: 

Mrs. A. J. Green,
41, Otto Terrace,
Sunderland.

The message on the divided back of the card was as follows:

"30. III. 10.
Dear Annie,
Ever so many thanks for
your postcards from
Ackworth.
We are sorry Mr. & Mrs.
Green were unable to
come and see us.
Hope you like this P.C.
I can't quite remember
the one I sent you from
Southend, but I believe
this is something like it.
Southend and Westcliff
are very near to each
other.
Kindest regards to you
all,
Yours sincerely,
Ivy."

President Taft

So what else happened on the day that Ivy posted the card?

Well, on the 30th. March 1910, President Taft signed proclamations granting minimum tariff rates to Canada and Australia, concluding a month of lowering tariff rates to all nations with whom the United States had diplomatic relations.

Mississippi Normal College

Also on that day, the Mississippi Normal College in Hattiesburg was chartered. The institution, known since 1962 as the University of Southern Mississippi, opened for classes on the 18th. September 1912.
