While writing "Dainty Dining" I became quite addicted to looking for old department store tea room postcards, and today I thought I'd share some of those I've acquired since completing the book. First, this undated card offers a view of the Narcissus Room at Marshall Field in Chicago which I'd never seen before. 
Next is this 1908 postcard showing the Japanese Tea Room at Donaldson's Glass Block department store in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Finally, I'm very intrigued by this undated postcard's view of the Fountain Cafe and Tea Room at Davidson Bros. Co. in Sioux City, Iowa. Those appear to be very large photos or murals against the back wall. Local scenes? The store itself? If you know, please share!
