Postcard back, looking north from depot

 

circa 1915

 

 

This card was unsent. A promotional message is in the left panel of the divided back, with a line for the place and a blank after "Dear," appearing to be handwritten in cursive. The card is "Compliments of Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce." Since the message relates to "visiting the Expositions," that places the production of the card around the 1915 Expositions in San Diego and San Francisco.

Take a tip from me and be sure your ticket reads "Via Los Angeles
Sincerely yours,
