Postcard showing images of the buildings and grounds at the Union Printers Home sanatorium in Colorado Springs, including the Superintendent's Home and Tent Colony. Printed caption on front reads, "Union Printers Home--Its Efficiency and Attractiveness Illustrated." Printed by International Typographical Union. Used, divided back, white border, not postally mailed. Typewritten across back, "All we printers die with tuberculosis, so here is the place where they live most of the time. There is a hard-wood floor in each tent and electric lights and outside over each tent is a red light, to be turned on if the patient is ill in the night and wants the doctor or the nurse. All of we Union printers have been paying one percent toward the support of the home for many years. I have been paying in for fourteen. We can go to the home and pass our days, or can have a pension of a dollar a day. We also have $400 paid to our estate at death and without legal process. We only have to have what we call a working card, and at our death, the money is paid to our relatives without any bother and the best of it--within ten days. "Collection
