Description

This color postcard features a red building with white trim and two chimneys. Patio furniture with brightly colored umbrellas sit beside the building among green bushes. An early twentieth century car is parked at the building and an expanse of green lawn surrounded by trees stretches in front of the building. The title in the upper left reads "Lexington Country Club, Lexington, Miss." The back of the postcard identifies the item as a postcard and provides publisher information as well as indication for correspondence and address placement. A green one cent postage stamp is in the upper right and the card is postmarked Lexington, Mississippi, August 14, 1942. The card is inscribed and is addressed to Mr. and Mrs. Jones in St. Louis, Missouri.
