Information

Date

1914

Description

A postcard showing buildings on Fremont Street with a handwritten letter on back which reads: "Dear Grandmother, Does this photo look familiar to you? You will see I have marked our place of business with a cross. Business has been very good with us lately and I have not had much time to write. I love to write so well you know. Floyd is still working and doing fine. We had a bad fire in Vegas about a week ago. Dobson Bros. grocery store went up in smoke. Tell Grandad hello for me and tell [Maude?] to drop me a line. Earl." The second photograph shows The People's Store and has "1st State Bank" written on its back side.
