The reverse side includes a detailed description of the hotel's amenities, such as the Marine dining room and the 200-car garage. Postmarked in April 1946, it carries a 2-cent 'Nations United for Victory' postage stamp, adding a layer of World War II-era historical context to this collectible piece of Chicagoana and hospitality history.
