Charles R. Childs (1875–1960) was a prominent Chicago photographer and post card manufacturer. He produced postcards from the early 1900s and continued working into the 1950s. The 1910 Federal Census shows Childs as single and living in Chicago. His profession was listed as “Manufacturer of postcards” at that time. By 1920 the Census listed his profession as “Printer.” The C.R. Childs Company produced postcard images from the states of Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, and Wisconsin.
