I found this auction on Ebay and the name Giuseppe Zingone is in my family tree. I know he had a business in town. Can someone tell me what the printing on this postcard says?
Thanks.

Sorry, I posted that very late last night. Perhaps the link would be helpful. Actually this would probably be of greater interest to the South American's I have been in contact with but with the big Zingone reunion this weekend they are all busy or out of town.

or could it be that Carole and Livio just need to borrow these?

Emporio is a country store. They were selling: metals, hardware, glass, paints, colors,etc

WOW! Thanks Livio - that was so fast. I wonder if there is a picture of the store on the other side? This is definitely our Giuseppe Zingone's store then. How cool is that? I have to have this if the Argentinian's can't have it. The auction ends same day as their big reunion. Too bad they don't take Paypal or Visa.

I'm trying to read the back side using the glasses that Emmy suggested, but I still have some difficulties..

I go on ebay every couple of weeks and do a search of "Montalto", calabria, calabrese and anything else I can think of. I have gotten many pictures 75 years old or older. These images are copyright free and
I can use them on my website. That is my tip of the day for you. Wink
