An elevated view looks over tree-shaded residential streets in Fort Wayne toward the sprawling brick General Electric factory complex, with a tall smokestack, rooftop sign frame, and water tower rising above rows of houses and a church spire. Parked automobiles line the foreground streets. The printed caption calls the plant "the largest of Fort Wayne's 157 industrial employers," a claim that fits the city's dense mid-twentieth-century manufacturing base.
Chrome-era color printing with fine screen texture; no white border. Divided-back chrome-era card printed by Dexter Press (West Nyack, N.Y.), glossy surface. Printed caption on the back reads "GENERAL ELECTRIC, the largest of Fort Wayne's 157 industrial employers. Fort Wayne, Indiana. Ektachrome by Helen O'Brien"; publisher line reads "Genuine Natural Color. Made by Dexter Press, Inc., West Nyack, N. Y." and "Pub. by Marquart Camera Shop, Fort Wayne, Indiana"; series 64472. No postmark. No stamp affixed and no handwriting on the back; a few small foxing spots near the center of the address half.
