No maker, publisher, or distributor is given for this advertising postcard for the El Cortez Hotel and its 15th-floor Sky Room restaurant and bar. On the reverse are pictures: one looking photographic, of the hotel itself; the other a drawing very similar to what appears to be a photograph in both PC-000-769 and PC-000-771 of the Sky Room bar, with a few tables. This side of the card bears a postmark, a promotional cancellation mark, and a postage stamp, as well as message and address.
