    About W. M. Cline Jr. and his postcard company:
    W. M. Cline, Co. was established in 1938 in Chattanooga, Tennessee. The company was founded by Walter Matson Cline, Jr. (1914-1984) who had learned photographer from his father, Walter M. Cline, Sr. (1873-1941). The elder Cline came to Chattanooga in 1904 and, in 1910, established Cline Studios, producing commercial photographs for newspapers and advertisement. Cline is estimated to have taken more than 75,000 pictures and provided the Community Advertising Association with 3,000 images used to promote Chattanooga. It was W.M. Cline, Jr. who established the company that produced these postcards, many using images made by father and son. After running a black and white operation for several decades, in 1958, Cline opened a color plant that could print 6,000 postcards per hour from more than 30,000 stock negatives.

    WE REGRET WE DON'T SHIP OUT OF USA; SORRY, BUT
    NO EXCEPTIONS.
    FREE SHIPPING via stiff plastic postcard holder and/or cardboard + plastic sleeve protected 1st class mail, STANDARD RATE.
    Regardless of what ebay may say on their "Shipping Page" - while STANDARD MAIL is perfectly safe for smaller & less expensive items - it is NOT the same grade of service as a "First Class Mail Parcel." Buyer MAY opt in (at a small-ish extra charge) for upgraded 1st class mail package rate (with TRACKING #)  at checkout if they choose to do so.
    I ship AT LEAST twice a week (and OCCASIONALLY 3 times per week) so turnover time or handling time is 3
    business
    days (Mon-Fri)
    max
    - often less than that.
    PAYPAL IS THE MUCH PREFERRED METHOD OF PAYMENT.
    Thanks!
    Please pay within 4 days. Delayed? Then email me - I'll try to work with you when necessary but it helps a lot when I have contact with you. If your payment is delayed, ebay is liable to send a dun or two. PLEASE NOTE THAT THOSE ARE COMING AUTOMATICALLY FROM EBAY AND
    NOT
    FROM ME. I typically send out just one reminder.
    PLACING A BID IS THE ETHICAL EQUIVALENT OF ACCEPTING THESE TERMS. PLEASE DON'T ASK TO ALTER THEM AFTERWARDS.
    In return, as our feedback clearly shows, we'll get your item(s) to you, as described, in a safe, timely manner. Thanks!
