This document is the reverse (address/message) side of a vintage postcard printed by the Auburn Post Card Mfg. Co. of Auburn, Indiana, and marked "Made in U.S.A." The card has the standard divided-back layout with "Post Card" printed across the top, a "PLACE STAMP HERE" box at the upper right, and a vertical dividing line separating the correspondence area from the address side. A short printed caption in the correspondence area describes the vehicle pictured on the front of the card (a companion image, "904 post card.jpg," appears in the same album): "One of the first cars in New Mexico. Has been driven approximately 250,000 miles. Original paint, top and fittings. Still able to do her thirty-five an hour, and take most of the hills on high." The card is unaddressed and unstamped, with no handwritten message. No year, make, model, or part numbers are printed on this side; the vehicle attribution to a 1909 Ford Model T comes from the uploader's album context rather than from text on this document. Readers learn the postcard's publisher, its promotional caption touting the car's longevity (250,000 miles) and 35 mph capability, and its early-automobile New Mexico provenance claim.
