1940301596San Francisco: promotional office 1940. Postcard. Very good exemplars enclosed in a small plastic presentation folder provided with twenty clear pockets of 6x4 inches each to contain two back-to-back cards of which three contain one card only and another none at all the rest filled to capacity. There are 13 b&w cards the rest 22 are in color or colorized. Good ones! especially the fancy color items. Spot-checking suggests that this was an active collection not a group purchased en masse as the terminal card is marked discreetly "$1.00" in pencil. Most unused though a couple have greetings/portage/postmarks to verso. promotional office unknown

One card with printed signature T. M. Kauri ; another signed T. Hazma and dated 1938. Other printed color post card subjects include landscapes both Japanese and Chinese Mt.
