Mt. Washington, the loftiest peak east of the Rockies and north of the Carolinas, is 6,293 feet high. The climate is the same as Labrador and middle Greenland. The view-line from the summit sweeps around a circle of nearly 1,000 miles, embracing parts of five states and the Province of Quebec.
The foremost linen-postcard publisher was Curt Teich Co. of Chicago, which pioneered linen postcards and whose products have always been popular with collectors due to their meticulous numbering system. For example, beginning in 1929, Teich cards were numbered sequentially as D1, D2, D3, etc., and starting in 1930, these numbers were preceded by a number for the last digit of the year and a letter for the decade—in other words, 3A meant 1933, 5B meant 1945, and 1C meant 1951. Following the date was the card\'s ID number, which was always preceded by the letter H if the card was linen.
