This postcard highlights the Private Mailing Card Act, enacted by the U.S. Congress on May 19, 1898, which marked a significant milestone in the history of postcards.
This legislation allowed private companies to produce postcards that could be mailed at the reduced rate of one cent, matching the rate for government-issued postcards and lower than the two-cent rate for letters.
