Edaville Postcard Booklet (4), 1949

Edaville Postcard Booklet (4), 1949
"...People have come from all over the United States and from several foreign countries just to ride the Edaville [train]. Everyone of them was as pleasantly surprised as I to learn of the many other treats that were in store for them. In the autumn season they get a firsthand look-see at cranberry harvesting which, I understand, is one of the most colorful events in agriculture. Most harvest hands are natives of the Cape Verde Islands... Put thirty or forty of them in them in a bog which at that time of year has turned a pretty red, stack a few boxes of berries near them and you have a carnival of color that's hard to beat."

Well, sort of. :/
