P. O. BOX  8  GREETING  CARDS

     P.O. Box 8 seems like a rather dumb name for a publisher, but that's what is on all these cards. P.O. Box 8 actually  has two other names for their cards. Helmlinger (who I think actually started the company), and Ohio Post Card. Anyway someone really had a brilliant idea by reusing the images of  their own post cards and by adding flowers they had a whole new line of greeting cards. They obviously have two distinct sets of this type, and as you can see the same flowers are used for different images so these cards can be confusing. I have no idea how many there are in either series.

MORGAN  STATIONARY  HOLIDAY  GREETINGS

Morgan had the same idea only they went with holiday cards.

                               

 

GREETINGS  FROM  CINCINNATI  CARDS

These cards are another example of Generic cards. They could be stamped with any city they wanted since the views on them were generic.

   I am obviously missing at least two cards, but I have no idea how far the numbers go on either side.

I believe that this may be the complete set.

POSTCARDS  ON  ENVELOPES

   These postcard images have been placed on regular envelopes, you put the stamp and address on the flap side. These were published by Tom Jones. No idea how many were published. I could have placed these on the Novelty Page also because they sure are something different.
