Linen-textured postcards from this period emphasized bright color, manicured lawns, and affiliation logos such as NTA and CPA to signal reliability and modern accommodations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"865\" data-end=\"1250\"\u003eThe image presents a long, low red-brick motel building set back from the roadway, with a central office sign and neatly arranged guest units extending along the lot.
