Embossed text at the bottom left reads "Maxwell / 2607 LAWTON AVE / ST. LOUIS." The reverse is white with black printed text. It reads "POST CARD" across the top left. There is a short vertical line down the center. Letters on the left side read "Correspondence Here" and on the right side "Name and Address Here." There is a square on the upper right corner with the words "Place Stamp Here." The name 'Dovie Wright Jordan' is handwritten in pencil at the bottom right.
