A green illustrated aerial view of the Great Southern Hotel in Gulfport, Mississippi is featured on this envelope. The hotel is billed as "The Aristocrat of Southern Taverns" and advertises fireproof sprinkler system throughout, and lists the amenities while calming to be the "home of Mississippi's finest coffee shop." The hotel is depicted as a large, four story, L-shaped structure with balconies along the second floor of the shorter portion of the building, dormer windows long the roof, and lush trees and bushes decorating the landscape of the front lawn.
