Cover of the day: Day 13: Swedish postcard from a defunct bank

Wow, it's day 13 already. If you have tridecaphobia look away (tridecaphobia is the fear of the number 13). So because 13 is the scariest number (Other than -19), I'll keep this short.

Today's cover was sent from Göteborg on the 20th of October 1905, by the Göteborgs handelsbank.

The front of the postcard is styled like a swedish postal card of the same era, with a 5 öre definitive stamp featuring the portrait of then Swedish king, King Oskar the Second, who reigned from 1872 until 1907.

The Göteborg Handelsbank was founded in 1897, and existed until 1949, when it was bought by Skandinaviska Banken.

I don't know what the postcard is about, so here's the cover!
