Belles of Pandora - 1906
CLICK ON IMAGE TO ENLARGE
What is it about girls from neighboring towns? Take Bluffton and Pandora for example. Long-time Bluffton resident Sidney Hauenstein once upon a time had a girl friend from Pandora. We base this upon the following postcard from "Alma" of Pandora.
She sent him this postcard - in the days before facebook and Twitter.
Her message was similar to social media messages of today. Read on:
TOP: Are there any more at home like you? Hope this will find you well and happy. Alma
RIGHT SIDE AT AN ANGLE: Hello! Sidney! How is Bluffton and all the good looking boys. You see we are looking for a __ (man) ha, ha. Delighted to send you this. Yours, Alma
BOTTOM LINE: (too difficult to read)
The question remains: Who are those six Belles of Pandora? Did their parents know they were taking photos of themselves and sending them to boys in Bluffton?
Too bad that we don't have Sidney's response.
(From the collection of Fred Steiner)
