Introduction
The words "Post Card" were not printed on postcards until December 24, 1901. US cards previous to that had to have the text "Private Mailing Card, Authorized by Act of Congress on May 19, 1898" on the back. If a card has this text it dates to prior 1901. Undivided back postcards with "Post Card" on them date from 1901 to when divided back postcards were allowed on March 1, 1907.

This card is a rarity in that it does not have the "Private Mailing Card, Authorized by Act of Congress on May 19, 1898" text, but it was posted in 1889, two years prior to the law that made the text mandatory.
