Possibly a Father and two of his daughters.  Too bad there is not a last name.  It is an AZO postcard that was used from 1904 –1918.  I will guess it is from the 1904-1910 time frame.
Thanks for stopping by.
A possibility:
This may be Charles Bosacker and his daughters, Myrtle and Esther. Charles C. Bosacker and his wife, Florence L, are buried in Woodlawn Cemetery, Le Center Cemetery, Le Sueur county, MN
