Car Festooned with Flags, Palace Garage, Fremont, Ohio, ca. 1920

A Vintage Photos Theme Park photo for the monthly topic of real photo postcards.

This is a photo of two men seated in an early automobile decorated with flags for a Fourth of July parade or some other patriotic celebration.

The distinctive "Palace Garage" sign (behind the telephone pole on the left), the "Garage" sign (above the flag at the back of the car), and the design of the building all match a 1920 photo of the Palace Garage in Fremont, Ohio, that appeared as part of a "History Spotlight" feature in the Fremont News-Messenger (you may encounter a paywall if you try the link).

This is a divided-back real photo postcard with a Cyko stamp box ("Cyko - Place Postage Stamp Here") printed on the back (there's no name, address, message, or postmark). This stamp box design indicates a date between 1907 and the 1920s, which corresponds to the date of the photo published in the newspaper.
