File:1934 - Ralph Baur birthday greeting from Jacob and Emilie Baur.jpg
From CowTales
source: Clara Hinderer collection.
Background: This card was sent to my Dad, Ralph Baur, on Jan. 31, 1934. His birthday is Feb. 1st. Dad is 12 years old.
Dad and his widowed Mom, Clara Hinderer, are living in New Ulm, MN. Dad's Grandfather Jacob Baur is pastor at St. John's Lutheran Church, Fort Ridgely, MN.
It is of interest the postcard was printed in Germany. Also worthy of note is this is the first street address I have run across for Dad. All the others are PO Box numbers!
The address is: 309 S. Washington Street, New Ulm, MN.
Zillow.com describes the house as a single family home that contains 1,638 sq ft and was built in 1918. It contains 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.

The word in the left corner is "Birthday greetings" Geburt (birth) tag (day) Gruß (Greeting). The letter you couldn't figure out, is an s.
Der HERR, dein Gott, ist bei dir, ein starker Heiland;
"The LORD your God is with you, a strong Savior"; Zeph 3:17
