During the first half of the 20th century, Columbus grew from a population of 125,560 (1900) to a population of 375,901 (1950)óa three-fold increase.

Columbus, Ohio: 1898-1950 in Vintage Postcards includes the earliest Columbus scenic postcards, many scenes from the golden era of postcards, and later scenes that show some of the changes that occurred in Columbus between the end of World War I and the post-World War II boom of the late 1940s.
