Postcard - Morton, Washington

"Morton, Washington. Morton, home of the Morton Loggers Jubilee each August, boasts national recognition because of the event. Here is seen a 'Blue Ribbon' load of logs."

Birthplace of Prohibition Party Presidential candidate (2004 & 2008) Gene Amondson (born in 1943).

This postcard is probably from the 1970s.

Postcard - Washington State

"Giant fir log from the forests of Western Washington. This log is 11 1/2 feet across the butt and contained 13,700 board feet. The logging crew shown here was proud of this one."

On the truck door I can make the words "G & D Co., Inc." Judging by the hair on the younger loggers I'm guessing this dates back to the late 1960s to mid-1970s. It was mailed to me in 1978.
