Scope and Content

Postcard with a color photo of the snack bar/ refreshment stand at Wonderland Camp near Camp Lake, Wisconsin. The building is painted glossy red with a green tiled, pagoda style roof, set among the trees. A crowd of people are gathered neared the open windows, sitting on stools or standing. The back of the postcard has the publisher, Aero Distributing, Evanston, Illinois printed vertically, separating the correspondence section from the address. A pre-printed message is typed in the correspondence section, inviting the recipient to come back to camp for a free cup of coffee. A blurb above that reads: Refreshment Stand - The Salvation Army Camp Wonderland, Camp Lake, Wisconsin. A printing mark of a letter "K" inside a diamond is printed in the lower left corner and a publication number, 61974, is printed on the lower edge in the center.
