"Here's wishing us more friends and less need of them." Copyright 1906 by H.H. Tammen of Denver. An old comic postcard. On the back is a bit of history:
Right below "This Side Is Exclusively For The Address" is a thin line dividing the back, and a note that "After March 1, 1907, This Space Can Be Used For A Written Message."
What happened if you wrote on the left side before March 1, 1907? Would the mailman refuse to deliver your card? There was never a space for a return address, so no one could trace the infraction back to you, if you slipped it in a mailbox somewhere...
