Shasta Route Official Folder

This postcard folder is postmarked “Mailed from Summit Siskiyous, Top of World, Mt. Shasta 14,444 ft. elevation.” There’s no date on the postmark, but it must be later than yesterday’s, which was mailed with a penny stamp, as this one says the postage is 1-1/2 cents. While yesterday’s folder had 22 photos plus the cover, this one has just eighteen.

I’m not sure what makes this folder “Official,” though Southern Pacific must have somehow approved of it. Yesterday’s was published by Curt Teich of Chicago, this one is by Pacific Novelties of San Francisco. Personally, I prefer Curt Teich’s coloration. There doesn’t seem to be any overlap in the photos.
