These are two postcard views of scenes along Indian Creek near Saint Clair in Franklin County, Missouri.  One shows an iron truss bridge over the creek, the other is a view of the farm of W. E. May.

 

Indian Creek flows into the Meramec River about five miles south of Saint Clair, Missouri.  These photo-type postcards are unused and undated, but the “AZO” mark on the stamp boxes on the reverse of both cards indicates production between 1910 and 1920.  The first card bears the legend “Iron Bridge near India [sic] Creek.  St Clair Mo.”  The view is of a truss bridge over the creek on which there are two buggies and sightseers.  The other view has the legend “W. E. May near Indian Creek St. Clair Mo.”  It shows the creek in the foreground and a large house or barn under construction in the background.
