1975 Photography Advertising Postal Stationary Syracuse New York

Step back to the fall of 1975 with this wonderfully preserved vintage postcard from Varden Studios in Syracuse, New York—a heartfelt reminder that someone’s cherished portraits were ready for pickup. The message, topped with the gentle prompt “Make a Note of This…” and a quaint illustration of a hand writing on a notepad, reflects a time when even everyday errands came with a personal touch.

On the reverse, this is a true prepaid postal card, a piece of official postal stationery with a pre-printed postage. The reddish-orange design features Samuel Adams and carries a face value of 8 cents. Issued by the U.S. Postal Service, these cards were a convenient way for businesses to send messages without the need for separate stamps. The postmark dated November 8, 1975, completes this authentic glimpse into mid-70s American life, when mail like this was part of the everyday rhythm.

This postcard would look great framed or make an excellent addition to any collection.
