MOUNTAIN SCENERY
The path uphill, around the pine,- One common thought, 'tis yours and mine; Much could be said about this place, This blessing to the human race.

It stands in majesty alone, And better even than a throne, The carpenter built it for two, And backward glanced, with pride to view.

'Tis rough, from mountain lumber made, Beneath the forest's cooling shade,- Concealed with brush, before and 'hind, Long may it stand and serve mankind.
-J. W. Yeagley

J. W. Yeagley, known for his poetry on vintage postcards, appears to be a pen name rather than a real person. There is no substantial biographical information available about him outside of his work on postcards, which suggests that the name was likely created for the purpose of adding a literary touch to these cards. This practice was not uncommon in the early to mid-20th century when many postcard publishers used pseudonyms to enhance the appeal of their products.

Published by Curt Teich & Company, often abbreviated as C.T., a prominent postcard publisher based in Chicago, Illinois. C.T. noticed the growing popularity of hillbilly-themed postcards, which were printed in North Carolina by the Asheville Post Card Company. They capitalized on this trend, riding the coattails of the popular hillbilly-themed comic postcard craze.
