Aerial View of Burlington N.C. Postcard
From the back of the Postcard:
The aerial view shows some of the city's most important areas. There is but one high building in the city, the Security National Bank Building that has eight stories, but the length and width of the business district is expanding yearly with buildings of two and three stories and industrial plants continuously are expanding their operations to keep alive the name "The Hosiery Center of the South."
