Title A name given to the resource Theo Buerbaum's Salisbury Subject The topic of the resource Historical postcards of Salisbury and Rowan County Description An account of the resource The 87 postcards in this project are from two collections from the Edith M. Clark History Room at the Rowan Public Library, The Miscellaneous Postcard Collection, MSS 9034 and The Johnny Young Postcard Collection, MSS 9908. The postcards in the project are those in some way connected with Theo Buerbaum, who was a photographer and bookstore owner in Salisbury, North Carolina from 1880-1926. Most of the postcards are from photographs he took, but others are ones that bear the imprint of his bookstore in some way. Included with the images are short histories researched by our staff of the events, places, or people depicted in the postcard. Our collection includes the images of Theo Buerbaum’s postcards, but this is by no means all that he produced. We are always looking out for images we do not have and we will happily take other donations.

Graded School Gymnasium Exercise class using Indian clubs circa 1907. The Indian Club is an exercise devise with a fanciful tale attached to it in the “Emperor’s New Clothes” tradition. It seemed that the luxurious job of being king soon became taxing for one Indian ruler and he lost interest in his lifestyle. A wise man showed up to offer a cure—a bowling pin shaped club. The wise man told the king that it had potent drugs in the handle and he was to swing the club out in the garden at regular intervals. Of course the fresh air and exercise was the potent drug. The English army adopted the Indian club exercise method soon after the occupation of India by the English. Others also found the exercise beneficial and followers soon brought it to America where it ended up in exercise programs even in the schools.
