Back of the postcard. Some of the wording is not readable. It looks like the postcard was sent to a woman, Miss Stewart of California, from Paul Smith.
Description printed on photograph's accompanying sheet of paper: "Hughes waves to cheering million. New York City--- Clean-shaven once more, Howard Hughes smiles his gratitude to the millions of New Yorkers who showered him with ticker-tape and torn paper--New York's own accolade, as paraded up Broadway, followed by his companions in the carbehind in the greatest reception since Lindbergh's. On the left is Grover Whalen, head of the New York World's Fair, 1939, and on the right, Al Lodwick, manager of the round-the-world record smashing flight. Credit Line (ACME) 7/15/38."
