"Aim Straight. A. Lanborn."
Cupid is aiming straight for the heart in the illustration on this nineteenth-century sentiment card .
I Surrender My Heart and My Love for Thee

Although this postcard--with a postmark dated February 13, 1911--is intended to convey a patriotic sentiment, the idea of Cupid kneeling down and holding up what appears to be a still-steaming heart makes it feel too much like a sacrificial offering to me.
To My Valentine
To the banner above
I surrender with glee,
My heart and my love;
Dearest Sweetheart for thee.
Too Small for His Britches?

"Roberts & Co., leading clothiers, 'glass front,' 797 Broad St., Newark, N.J. Copyright 1883 by J. H. Bufford's Sons."
A winged Cupid, who's wearing a shirt but no pants, waits patiently as two women use needles and thread to mend a gigantic pair of pants. Although pants seem to be an appropriate item to feature in an advertising trade card for a clothing store like Roberts & Co. (whose glass store front was apparently a selling point), I'm not sure why they're so huge or how Cupid is going to wear them. Perhaps this is just a silly scene intended to amuse the children who would paste cards like this in their scrapbooks in the late nineteenth century.

To My Matchless Valentine
Cupid's Matches. Warranted to kindle love's flame. Strike here.
Tho' you may have set these all alight,
My heart is safe you know;
For that has been aflame for you
Sweetheart, long long ago.

Miss Violet Glossenger, Cortez, Pa.
Hello Violet, Your postal received and I thought I would answer it being so near to "Valentines Day." Have you had any sleighing over there? We have had a little bit. Well goodbye from that rascal of a Milton C.
