Set a course for adventure!

This is a Curt Teich “Curteichcolor” chrome postcard, number 8CK2226, published in 1958. Here’s what they have to say about our Conch Tour Train, running in Key West: “Operates conducted lecture tours daily on the historic Island City. The train passes more than 60 points of interest, running from the Atlantic Ocean to the Gulf of Mexico (which sounds like a long way, but is only about four miles. — Ed.). Key West is the nation’s southernmost city and the only town in the U. S. A. that has never had a frost in the history of the Weather Bureau.” Except for frozen margaritas, of course.
