Morning, Dear Mary, Wish you were here to go swimming and play around here with me. I have a small room all alone last night, I got a beach ball and sure tried hard to swim yesterday. Thanks for the nice time we had when we were at Le Grange. Love - Alice Marie Nessbaum. Addressed to, Mary Sue Case c/o R. L. Case La Grange, Ind. The writer, in 1949, says she purchased a beach ball and went swimming with it. No doubt this was an inflatable beach ball.

Many people took advantage of a beach balls buoyancy to keep them afloat as they enjoyed the water. |
