New York City, The Delmonico
From this iconic old and stately hotel, a card mailed in 1959 with stamp, most of the postmark, and additional small inked notation. There’s also a story: the hotel hosted Charles of the Ritz Training School for skin care and beauty, for which (we suppose) persons from all over paid tuition to attend. As part of their package, the students received cards like this that had a mimeographed message on the back, to be sent to invite their own customers to contact the students later to “hear about the new season’s fashions,” and so on. Got that? Grade: 3
