Description
Artist Delbert Dana Coombs (1850-1938) wrote a postcard to the Rickers at Poland Spring complaining about being unable to get water delivered.
The card reads, "Auburn Feb. 7, 1880 Dear Sir I have been trying to get some water for three or four weeks. Last Saturday A.M. saw your driver and he said he would leave me some water in the P.M. but did not -- Can I get some without going to Poland -- I think if your man attended to business a little better it would please your customers. D D Coombs"
