Rare early original vintage Real Photo Post Card (RPPC) of President William H. Taft addressing the crowd from a train during his whistle stop campaign in Owatoona Minnesota.

Caption at bottom reads, “ WILLIAM H. TAFT AT OWATONNA IN - 1908”
Owatonna incorrectly stated as being in Indiana.

William Howard Taft (September 15, 1857 – March 8, 1930) was the 27th president of the United States (1909–1913) and the tenth chief justice of the United States (1921–1930), the only person to have held both offices. Taft was elected president in 1908, the chosen successor of Theodore Roosevelt, but was defeated for reelection in 1912 by Woodrow Wilson after Roosevelt split the Republican vote by running as a third-party candidate. In 1921, President Warren G. Harding appointed Taft to be chief justice, a position he held until a month before his death.

This is a vintage photograph and not a copy or reproduction.

Real Photo Post Card measures 3 1/2 x 5 1/2 inches and is in excellent condition with no bends, tears, or creases.  Back is clean with no writing and no postmark.
