Pleasantville New York Greetings Pennant 1913 Postcard Posted Divided Back

1913 postcard sent from Pleasantville, New York, using a novelty pennant-style design to identify the town through humor and graphic illustration.

Pleasantville developed as a suburban railroad town in Westchester County, benefiting from commuter rail access to New York City and growing into a residential community during the early twentieth century. Postcards from this period often emphasized local identity through stylized lettering and playful imagery, serving both as souvenirs and as informal social messages sent between family members and friends.

The card features a dark blue field with a white pennant reading “Pleasantville, N.Y.” and the phrase “They all start kickin’ in when I’m there,” accompanied by a cartoon figure and small dog in motion. The illustration style reflects early 1910s humor postcards that blended town names with visual jokes. Postal markings and message confirm real circulation, giving the card added documentary value as a mailed artifact rather than an unused souvenir.
