Somerset is large so wading through a great heap of Somerset cards to find Bristol ones was time consuming. Many dealers put Bristol cards in their Gloucestershire sections, which weren't so large. However, a number of dealers placed their Bristol cards in sections devoted to Bristol only and that was much better when sifting through thousands of cards in a day at an old postcard fair. Josephine
