|  G.W. Morris, Portland, Maine Southwest Harbor Public Library Description: Morris was an important publisher of pictorial books before they began producing view-cards. Most of their postcards captured scenes of the Northeast, especially of Maine and New Hampshire, but cards of other states as far away as Florida can be found. The nature of the drawn-in skies found on many of their cards gives then a very distinct look. Their early cards in tinted collotype were printed in Germany and Saxony. They contracted out their latter halftone cards to Curt Teich. - Information from “Publishers,” Metropolitan Postcard Club of New York, Accessed online 02/26/2017; http://www.metropostcard.com/publishersm2.html.

|  Eastern Illustrating & Publishing Company Southwest Harbor Public Library Description: "In 1909, R. Herman Cassens, a young entrepreneur, started a postcard company, the Eastern Illustrating and Publishing Company, in the mid-coast town of Belfast, Maine. Postcards have always been a popular item, especially for travelers, but at the turn of the century they were the absolute rage. The company continued producing black and white cards through the 1950s and made color postcards through the 1980s. Sometime in the 1940s or 1950s the company switched from glass plates to film. At first the information was hand written, and later it was printed. The Eastern Illustrating logo varied through the years."
