Early Divided Back Era (1907-1914)

Post cards with a divided back were permitted in the U.S. beginning on March 1, 1907. The address was to be written on the right side; the left side was for writing messages. Many millions of cards were published in this era -- it was the golden age of postcards. Up to this point, most postcards were printed in Germany, which was far ahead of the United States in the use of lithographic processes. With the advent of World War I, the production of post cards for American consumption switched from Germany to England and then to the United States.

Keep in mind the shipping price also covers handling fees, packaging materials & time, not just postage.
