About this postcard

A modern two-story brick and glass office building on a Lynchburg street corner, identified by rooftop lettering as the Lynchburg Federal Savings & Loan Association. A curved canopy shelters the glass entrance, a late-1950s automobile is parked at the right, and a vertical blade sign reading "FEDERAL / LYNCHBURG" stands at the left. Older brick commercial blocks and a church spire rise behind. The streamlined curtain-wall design gave the savings and loan a modern face in the postwar decades, when such institutions were expanding home lending in Lynchburg and other American towns.

Mr. Tennyson I hope everything is fine I've been trying to get things lined up for the seeding Sat. PM If you still can come, with you & would bring your seeder. It is O.K. to bring Gene Seaney if he asks. If you can't think of the names I gave you, just pick a few good boys. Maybe I will have time to call you before Sat. Blenice said to tell you to bring your wife & visit. Walton
