Terre Haute is as old as the State of Indiana itself. In 1816
Indiana was admitted to the Union and Terre Haute was incorporated as a town.
Situated at the center of the Nation's population, it is recognized as one of
the key cities of the United States. It is easily reached by railroad and
highway from all directions that it is an ideal "Convention City."
It is the center of industrial, educational and recreational activities of the
fertile Wabash Valley region. Terre Haute, West Terre Haute and North Terre
Haute contain about 75,000 inhabitants. The Terre Haute trading area embraces a
population of over 250,000.
I have an unstamped version of this card that has the number 1B-H135 which is covered by the stamp on the pictured card. This means the card was first published in 1941.
