Description

An advertising postcard for the Mt. Wilson Hotel, postmarked 8 March 1906. There is a cover photograph by E. B. Gray of a "Mount Wilson Yucca" amidst the chaparral of the area. Below that is text about the hotel, means of transport, rate, the telephone number (including the "4 bells" notation) and the surnames of owners Rich & Beard. The reverse of the postally used card has an addressee's name but no message. With minimal soiling and edge rubbing, the condition is good.
