                <text>Invented in 1869, picture postcards first appeared in the United States in 1873. Postcards soon became a popular means of communication, requiring only a penny's worth of postage. Simple and inexpensive, tourists also began collecting postcards as an ideal keepsake souvenir of places visited. They became a major collector's item between 1904 and 1912, an era often referred to as the âGolden Ageâ of the postcard. The popularity of the postcard continued with the real photo postcard. With manufacturers able to print thousands of copies of a particular image, postcard racks appeared at every tourist attraction. &#13;
As in other Western cities, Spokane boosters used postcards to promote tourism and create souvenirs. They also boasted of the scenery with pictures of mountains, streams, and other natural views.&#13;
