GREETINGS FROM NEW HAMPSHIRE (#3)
Multiview postcard published circa 1960 by Bromley & Co. Version number three of three different versions of the card that were published. The subjects of each card were mostly the same, but each version of the card usually used a different photo for the same subject. The photo numbers below correspond with the above postcard.

#9 Wildcat Mountain Gondola, Pinkham Notch
#10 Mt. Chocorua and Lake
(No #) Jackson (Honeymoon) Covered Bridge
These views are historical, and while some still exist, other views are long gone. NH’s state emblem, the Old Man of the Mountains (#2) collapsed on May 3, 2003. The original 24-passenger 1938 Cannon Mountain Tramway (#3) was replaced with a new 70-passenger tram in 1980. Cranmore replaced its 1938 Skimobile lift (#7) with a high speed quad chairlift in 1989. Wildcat replaced its 1958 Gondola (#9) in 1997. Interestingly, the Wildcat replacement, a high speed quad chairlift in the winter, is converted to a 4-passenger gondola for sightseers during the summertime. The Mt. Sunapee ski area (#6) replaced its early 1960’s vintage Summit double chair with a triple chair in 1988; in 1998, the summit triple was in turn replaced with a high speed quad.
Still in operation are the Jackson (Honeymoon) covered bridge; the Mount Washington Cog Railway (#8); and the M/S Mount Washington cruise ship (#5) on Lake Winnipesaukee. And NH’s beautiful natural landscapes – the Flume Gorge (#1), Crawford Notch (#4), and Mt. Chocorua (#10) – all endure.
