The VanOrnum Colorprint Co., Los Angeles, California

The divided back of this postcard carries an intact postmark, the logos of the publisher and contributor, an intact postage stamp, a special cancellation, a slogan, the publisher's number, and a legible message and address in black ink. The slogan on the right bottom, "Reached via the Salt Lake Route" probably refers to a promotion for the Denver, Northwestern and Pacific Railway.
