I've just posted my collection of postcards and other ephemera from the radium baths in Claremore, Oklahoma. Some people may know it as the inspiration behind my novel Radium Baby, but the place itself was very real and produced some amazing postcards.
Film-star and comedian Will Rogers was from the area, and always had a nice word or two to say about it: "Now, if you are living in the South and are afflicted with a Cotton Crop under a Republican Administration, or with the Ku Klux or with the Hook Worm, we guarantee to rid you of either or all of these in a course of 21 baths."
