Now that I've learned that George F. Slade was a "Jr.", I see that his work dated about 1910, and not 1930. The sources refer to his 7" x 9" photographs as "postcards"; whereas, George F. Slade Jr., wrote that his photographs were "art". Given the earliest days of photography, and wet-glass negatives, I'll give him that!
I have two of his "postcards", and both should go into the Gallery, but I seem to have "
exceeded my allotment of allowed disk space".

Would that have been the best fairway for landing an airplane? No, I'm not kidding.
My Dad, a caddy at BPCC, would land his Curtis-Wright
Junior there, as well as Tuftonboro's open pastures and fields. This was prior to WWII.
Driving through Tuftonboro, my Dad would point to a fence crossing a pasture, and say, "They've ruined a good landing strip!"
The Curtis-Wright
Junior, as it is flown today.
