Description

This black and white postcard features a large five story building with a tower on each corner and dormer windows along the roofline. Trees partially obscure the right end of the building. A sidewalk leads up to the building. The title, "Miss. Industrial Institute, Columbus, Miss." is along the bottom of the card. The back of the postcard identifies the item as a postcard and provides publisher information as well as indication for address and postage stamp placement. The center of the card advertises postcard production services from Rotograph Co. that reads "Post Cards From Your Own Photographs Style A.--Black and White.
