Wordless Wednesday: The pride of Croatia

Ivic's painting of the young girl sewing a Croatian flag thanks to the Croatian History website's Croatian Coat of Arms During the Centuries. The painting was originally published on the cover of "Hrvatska žena, grana br. 1, Chicago, 1929-2009; Croatian Woman, branch #1, Chicago, 80th Anniversary" (see Ante Čuvalo's blog).

Wordless Wednesday: Trenton, New Jersey Post Office, c. 1909
Could this have been the building from which Steven Toth sent letters to his wife and family giving them information about his new life in America?
Did he write? If so, how often? He missed the birth of his second child. Her birth record lists him in "Trenton, Amerika". Was this because he didn't get his wife's letter in time?
