A tall-tale postcard showing horses pulling wagons loaded with oversized potatoes and corn. A man sits atop the lead wagon and holds the reins. Tall-tale postcards use photographic montage to create images of oversized produce and animals. Fruits, vegetables and fish are the most common subjects.
The smaller wagon next to the tractor collects the grain after it is run through the threshing machine. The threshing machine separates the grain from the straw, much like today's combine.
