Description

Photo postcard of the Dr. Dorrance home in Bishop, CA. It was taken by photographer A. A. Forbes and given his ID #149. It was taken from a high vantage point (maye the opera house?). The reverse has an invitation to the First Annual Harvest Festival in Bishop to be held on November 3-4, 1911. It reads: "You know Bishop! It's the town that does things. It is the metropolis of Inyo County. It is the most hospitable place you were ever in. It lies in the Owens Valley, the land of plenty. This year has been particularly fruitful, and therefore we are going to celebrate. And you ought to be here. We want you to be here. Why don't you come? The First Annual Harvest Festival will be held in Bishop on Friday and Saturday, November 3 and 4, two days of jollifcation and thanksgiving. The latch string is out. We promise you a time which will be so good you'll never forget."
