Description
Postcard of ostriches in a pen at a farm in San Jose California. Also shown is a small flock of chickens. The farm was located at Alum Rock Avenue and King Road. The ostriches were raised primarily for their plumes, which were very popular fashion accessories at that time. On the back of the postcard the publisher has printed "Ostrich Farming is getting to be a big industry in California, and this is one of many Californian farms, all of which are a success."
