This postcard shows a super view of a historic building in Freeland PA. It is a two story building embellished with banners and what looks like Chinese paper lanterns? There is a star at the top of the roof. It is decorated for the 1906 Pearl Jamboree. The card front is printed and reads Tigers Freeland PA, Sep 17, 18, 19 1906. Note, the letter N in Freeland is backwards! The Tigers Athletic Club was organized on June 27, 1889 not only to promote athletics principally baseball, for which it is now remembered -- but even more fundamentally (based on its constitution) to develop in its members "a broader sense of their duty toward their God, their country, themselves and their fellow man, that the same may have a tendency to promote more friendly relations between all classes of people, and that by associating together we will disseminate a spirit of brotherly love, good fellowship and true manhood among our members, and advance their condition socially, morally and intellectually. As a means of attaining these objects the club shall establish and maintain rooms wherein the members and the public in general can assemble and spend their leisure time with profit to themselves by the reading of good, sound, moral and instructive literature, by an interchange of views on matters pertaining to the welfare of all and in the enjoyment of games and sports. These extracts from the Tigers constitution shown above were printed by the Tribune Printing Co. In 1891 club members leased the Goeppert building on Walnut street, and added another story to enlarge it. There in its club rooms members would gather in the evenings to relax, read and talk together. The club rooms included a library of books, daily newspapers and magazines. The card back is undivided and is postmarked 1906. Condition is good to very good as shown. Guaranteed vintage and original. The watermark is not on the postcard you are buying here.
