About this postcard

The large-letter greeting from North Carolina fills the state name with small scenes, with the State Capitol in Raleigh at lower right and goldenrod at lower left. The printed caption spells the building "State Capital"; it is the North Carolina State Capitol, completed in 1840 and a National Historic Landmark. Goldenrod is the state flower. The printed state facts call North Carolina the Tar Heel State and give a 1940 population of 3,571,623. A sender in Statesville asks a correspondent in Arlington, Texas, to swap cards, a common exchange among collectors during the 1940s.
