Artifact Overview

Photographic cards like this one, with their glued-on labels, were a preliminary step taken by Dexter Press before producing postcards for small-business owners to mail or hand out. On Highway 101 in North Ukiah, California, this service station operated inside a tree that had been "carefully selected from a grove of monster Redwoods" located 17 miles west of town.
