This "Genuine Curteich-Chicago 'C.T. Art-Colortone' Post Card" is captioned, on the reverse: "Odessa, Tex. (Pop. 10,000) - fast-growing oil, cattle and tourist center midway between Ft. Worth and El Paso on T. & P. Ry. and popular U.S. Highway 80."

Odessa, TX is the county seat of Ector County in West Texas.

This circa 1940s era postally-unused card was distributed by "McCormick Co., Photographers, Amarillo, Texas". It is numbered 1B-H2510 in the one cent stamp box. This vintage linen post card is in clean, excellent condition with strong, bright colours. It is in such a near-pristine state as it is "new", old store stock.
