MISCELLANEOUS POSTCARDS AND OTHER "STUFF"

EE and KOLLUM
A few cards from Ee and Kollum. As a youngster I spent many of my holydays in Ee with my grandparents.

SUIKERZAKJES (Sugar bags)
As a youngster I also collected sugar bags. There was a teaspoon of sugar in each bag. These small bags measured 2x3 inches (5x8 cm), and were printed with a logo or image of the place that served tea or coffee such as a restaurant or a lunchroom in a school, club, office or factory. link link link

NOTE: Postcard titles often had mispellings or were totally wrong. This card is a good example. There are three things not right.
#1: Tweebaksmark has a missing t. The name is Tweebaksmarkt
#2: There should be no space in "ou de", it is one word with a capital, Oude.
#3: The school address is not Tweebaksmarkt but Druifstreek 72. The Tweebaksmarkt starts to the right of the school (north of the Oude Oosterstraat).

PERSONAL NOTE ABOUT THIS SCHOOL
After the City of Leeuwarden sold "City School No.1" to the Reformed Church it was renamed "Willem Lodewijk School". I started attending this school in the late 1940s.
