About this postcard

Oversized yellow-and-black letters spell BLUEFIELD, each filled with a small view of a local building or street scene. "Greetings from" appears in script at upper left and "W. VA." in orange letters at right, with "Nature's Air Conditioned City" along the bottom. The slogan points to the cool mountain air of Bluefield, an Appalachian rail and coal town near the Virginia line.
