Postcard from Sloppy Joe's Bar depicting a woman over a trash can. The text reads, 'Having taken a few too many at a dance, a pretty young thing in Key West ran outdoors, fainted and fell over a trash barrel. A young man saw her, picked her up and carried her to his room. The next morning he sent the following wire to his partner in New York: 'Close office. Sell everything. Come to Key West. They throw away better stuff here in Key West than you can buy in New York.'' The description on the verso reads, ‘Many “Hellos” from the original Sloppy Joe’s Bar, Key West, Florida.’Subject Person/Organization
