Around 1945, the Columbia Cigar and Tobacco Company, which was located in the old South Carolina Electric and Gas Company substation at 1337 Assembly Street, published this postcard. Featuring illustrations of Columbia-area landmarks inside large block letters (from left to right: the Saluda Dam, the Veterans Hospital, the South Carolina State House, Main Street, the Woodrow Wilson Family Home, the U.S. Courthouse, Trinity Episcopal Church, and First Baptist Church), the postcard conveniently allowed visitors to South Carolina's capital city to share the highlights of their trip with family and friends back home.Postcard Details
