Printed in the border above the image is the title, "Wiley College, Marshall, Texas," and the code 2A1459-N is printed in the lower right corner of the border below the image.

Off.}" The postmark on the back of the card is dated Sep 16, 1947, and the card is addressed to Miss Lucille Laurence, Hastings, Mich.
