Notes

General Note:

caption on verso of postcard "The only cannery of green turtle soup in the united States is in Key West, and its products are exported all over the world wherever epicures congregate. The turtles weighing 300 to 400 pounds are caught in South American waters and penned in 'crawls' and they gaze with stoic calm at the strange people who come to look at them."
