Postcard: Paradise, Kentucky


"Here is the world's largest mobile land machine, a huge stripping shovel built by Bucyrus-Erie Company, South Milwaukee, Wisconsin for a local mine near Paradise, Kentucky."

It is VERY hard to find anything relating to the old town of Paradise now. I was very happy to find this great postcard. Check out the two small people in the lower right corner!

I really love the fact that the Peabody Coal Company name is shown, and the town of Paradise is mentioned on the back.
