"Dear Miss, I very much desire the pleasure of your acquaintance and your company home this evening. If agreeable please keep this card, if not kindly return it. Yours truly, ________." See also Fair Lady, I Send You This Beautiful Chromo with My Compliments (below) and my Acquaintance Cards album for additional examples.

"Please send home that shirt you borrowed." Postmarked Los Angeles, Calif., Jan. 30, 1910, and addressed to: "Mr. Clarence Fox, RR #5, Sterling, Kans." Is it an amusingly nonsensical message to send to a friend? Or could it be a catchphrase from some forgotten song or play? Whatever the case might be, I've only seen it on early twentieth-century postcards like this one.

"May I see you home?"

"May I be permitted the blissful pleasure of escorting you home this evening? Yours, __________. Two souls with but a single thought; two hearts that beat as one." Printed on reverse of card: "No. 100. Escort cards, 50 for 10 cents. (Assorted designs.) Crown Card Co., Columbus, Ohio." For other escort or acquaintance cards, see my Acquaintance Cards album.

"Don't be in a hurry to run home if someone tells you your house is on fire, it is only the work of an April Fool!"

"Acquaintance compliments with confidence & respect. Can I have the pleasure of your company this evening? If so, keep this card; if not, please return it. O. G. Pfleogor." This is the only card I've come across that has a name printed on one side (like a calling card ) and a "let's get acquainted" message (like an acquaintance card ) on the other side.
