A.T. Cook was a seeds man, nurseryman and more to our point a postcard publisher. Cook was born in Clove, N.Y. in 1846. By 1876, Mr. Cook had established himself in the business of selling seeds at Clinton Hollow. By 1890 he enjoyed a wide success and moved a few miles to Hyde Park, N.Y. Cook continued in business until 1923 when he died suddenly.
Mr. Cook published approximately 200 post cards that promoted good cheer, conservation, poetry of the countryside and the pleasures of a well-regulated life. Among them, were temperance and anti-smoking cards.
Come and learn about Mr. Cook and learn about historic post cards at the samo time.
