Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center Vintage Postcard Collection

Night scenes and building depictions on postcards are among the favorite items housed in the Dorothy Carpenter Medical Archives at Wake Forest School of Medicine.

The collection of nine vintage postcards, or 18, with front and back is small but enjoyable.

They are JB Armstrong News Agency and Penry-Aitchison PTG Co., both based in Winston-Salem. Walter H. Miller is in Williamsburg, VA. and Asheville Post Card Co. is in Asheville, NC.
