Seller's description:

United States postal history. 1904 - 1915. Eight covers postmarked with Hackensack, New Jersey flag cancels.

Commercial covers from the Susquehanna Hotel, Riverside Planing Mill and Coal Company, Hutchinson & Andrus, Hackensack Trust, Hackensac Coal & Lumber.




These are not especially historic or valuable - I just like seeing the simplicity with which these old Hackensack businesses that we're semi-familiar with used to address their envelopes.

Can you imagine being a business and writing this on an envelope today.........

...........and it gets right to Otto at 107 Main St, Hackensack?
