There are other cards that I do not have images for. One set was published by the Star Printing Company of Terre Haute between approx. 1893 and 1898. I believe that these are the earliest postcards featuring Terre Haute and were greetings cards from Terre Haute and of the following subjects...
On the banks of the Wabash, Rose Dispensary, Rose Orphans Home, Rose Polytechnic Institute, St. Mary's of the Woods, Terre Haute High School, Union Station and Banks of the Wabash with the City Seal.
