What does "tap'er light" mean? It literally
means, "take it easy," or "be careful and have a good day."
It comes from the practice of setting explosives in the mines; they had to pack
in certain types of explosive charges by carefully tapping them in with a
hammer. Hit the charge too hard, or miss and strike a spark off of rock, and
ka-BOOM! This cards is postmarked 1945
What a great postcard. I'm glad you explained "tap'er light", because I never would have figured it out!
