Super Sunday: Ads

All the posts I wrote for the past week included two postcards.  But since I had so many postcards that I have not yet included in my blog (over 600), I decided to include 4 cards into today's post.  And to make it sound more interesting and important than it really is, I'm calling it "Super Sunday".


Eni - Energy Conservation

Sent by: alenas
From: Italy
For: Ad Cards Round Robin - Group 9
Notes:  alenas included a note on the back of this card, informing me that Eni is an oil and gas company, and this card talks about ways to conserve energy.
This was the only time I participated in anything involving ad cards because I realized that I just don't enjoy ad cards that much, unless they are for movies or TV shows.


Akufen - Fabric 17

Sent by: wackystuff
From: Canada
For: Ad Cards Round Robin - Group 9
Notes:  This card is identical on both sides, so it is not a true postcard.  Akufen is a Canadian electronic musician, and this card is advertising his CD launch party.


Austria - Spanish Riding School, Vienna

Sent by: monsieurvalentine
From: Netherlands
For: Ad Cards Round Robin - Group 9
Notes:  These horses are the famous Lipizzaner stallions from the Spanish Riding School in Vienna Austria. On the back of this card, where the message would normally be written, there is an ad for a performance at the Sportpaleis Antwerpen in Antwerp, Belgium.  


Pennsylvania - Colonial Theatre, Phoenixville

Sent by: iSteven
From: Pennsylvania, USA
For: Lottery for Round Robin Hosts
Notes: This was one of about 8 cards that I received from iSteven's lottery.  I thought it fit in well with the other ad cards.  According to the info on the back of the card, the Colonial Theatre, located in Phoenixville, Pennsylvania, appeared in the 1958 film "The Blob".
