Description

This black and white postcard features a house and trees. Men in black suits and hats are leaning against the tree in the forefront. The title in the upper right reads "Greetings from Gulfport, Miss." An inscription is handwritten in the white space on the right edge of the card and along the bottom edge. The back of the card identifies the item as a postcard and provides indication for address placement. A green one cent postage stamp is placed in the upper right corner and the card is postmarked August 14, 1913. The location of the postmark is not legible. The card is addressed to Miss Sara Myers in Tuscaloosa, Alabama in care of Miss Farmine Smallwood.
