This set of eight postcards show the Hard Manufacturing Company, known
mainly for their beds and cribs. The backs read "Souvenir Postal Card
from the Buffalo Industrial Exposition. A view of one of Buffalo's large
industries. The home of unbreakable beds." The Exposition ran from
October 3-15, 1910 at the Broadway arsenal in Buffalo. There are at least
three more cards in the series which I don't have—"Applying the
Porcelain Enamel before Baking", "Sewing Ticks for Mattresses", and
"Accounting and Credit Department."
