There is no information about this card printed on it. The front of the card is an actual photograph, not a press-printed lithograph.
We suspect that the card was made by W. B. Praytor. The Mount Pleasant, Texas postmark appears to be March 17, 1910, 3:30 PM.
Judging by the note on the back, it may be an interior shot of Florey Brothers General Merchandise in Mt. Pleasant.
The back of the card was addressed to Mrs. B. L. Bradford, Overton, Texas. The note reads "Dear Sister, how are you. Would be so glad to see you all. This is a good place to sell goods. We do better all the time. Your brother, T.R.F."

Greetings from Mt. Pleasant, Texas PC-0044
This card appears to be a "stock" photo that was likely used in several areas. The legend "Greetings From Mt. Pleasant, Texas" was stamped on the card with a rubber stamp. Unfortunately, the post mark barely printed, so we can't provide an exact mailing date. However, the stamp attached is a 1 cent stamp that reads "United States of America. Industry-Agriculture. For Defense." Therefore, we suspect that the card dates to the 1940s, likely during World War II.
The card was mailed to Mrs. T. C. McCulloch, 640 Grant, St. Joseph, Mo.
The message reads "Thank you for the very nice card and glad you got the other one. Hope the flood situation is greatly improved. Hope you like this card. It is from the Piney Woods section of East Texas. G. W. Stanley, Mullins, Texas."
