The paper deals with individual texts on postcards from the territory of Lower Styria sent between 1904 and 1918, which reflect various styles of writing - from intellectual to naive. As the genre "postcard" was at that time still in its early phases, there were no strict rules for writing them; additionally, the Slovene language was at that time far from being standardised. These factors contribute to a very diverse picture of the linguistic personalities of the respective writers in this open way of communication.
