A postcard postmarked in Houston, Texas, on July 15, 1959. Description on the other side: "The hardwood panel display in the Memphis Municipal Airport lobby, prepared by the Memphis Lumberman's Club, is one of the major points of interest to visitors in the 'World's Hardwood Capital.'" I haven't been able to determine whether the hardware panel still exists as a major attraction in Memphis , Texas.

"Chase V. Bickle. Ukulele School. Beginners, advanced, melody. Studio: 1905 Elm St. Phone 2-1948." I believe that Mr. Bickle and his school were located in Dallas, Texas. Perhaps he knew Happy Jack True, Ace of the Uke :

"Texas Centennial Exposition, Dallas, extends to Mildred Zahn, Resettlement Administration, the courtesy of free admission to the gates of the exposition from June 6th to Nov. 29th, 1936. W. A. Webb, general manager. 1543." As Wikipedia explains, "The Texas Centennial Exposition was a World's Fair held at Fair Park in Dallas, Texas (USA) to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Texas's independence from Mexico in 1836. . . . The exposition was credited for buffering Dallas from the Great Depression, creating over 10,000 jobs and giving a $50 million boost to the local economy." Sadly, William Alfred Webb , the general manager whose signature appears on the pass, died two months after the exposition opened. Mildred Zahn, the recipient of the pass, worked for the Resettlement Administration , which was "a New Deal U.S. federal agency that, between April 1935 and December 1936, relocated struggling urban and rural families to communities planned by the federal government."
