"C.T. Art-Colortone" Post Card (Reg. U.S. Pt. Off.) Circa 1930.
Lumberjacks harvested all the pine trees in Hayward in less than 50 years. The town needed something new to drive their economy so by 1922, tourism was it. Post cards like this showing the wild life attracted travelers to the north woods. Today Hayward has the largest fiberglass sculpture in the world with its infamous muskie mascot for the Freshwater Fishing Hall of Fame.
