Scope and content
Postcard with two images: "The Dalles House Motel," and the "Cafe and Lounge." Text printed on verso: "The Dalles House, St. Croix Falls, Wisconsin. On U.S. 8 & Wisconsin 35 - Phone: 32-W. 25 Units with free TV. Ceramic Baths, A.M.F. Bowling, Cocktail Lounge, Bar, Coffe Shop, Dining Room & Superb Food. Golf Course and Skiing just 5 minutes away." Also on verso are logos for AAA and Best Western Motels. Also on verso: "Curteichcolor® 3-D Natural Color Reproduction (Reg. U.S.A. Pat. Off.)" Date from stamp box: Curt Teich Postcards used several different ways to number their cards over the years. By the 1930s, a letter would denote the decade ("A" - 1930s, "B" - 1940s, "C" - 1950s, "D" - 1960s, "E" - 1970s) and the number before the letter would indicate the year within that decade. In 1931 another letter was added after the decade letter. This indicated different printing processes. A "K" was used to indicate Curteichcolor, which is a chrome postcard printing process. This postcard has "8CK1912" printed within the postage square, indicating it is a 1958 Curteichcolor card.
