Memphis Southwestern TN Postcard Lot of 3 Cotton Exchange Columbia Mutual Tower

Three views of Memphis, Tennessee, from the white-border era of American postcards. Two were published by the Memphis Paper Co. and the third was printed by E. C. Kropp Co. of Milwaukee, a big name in postcard printing. Memphis landmarks like these are popular with local-history collectors and anyone who loves old city views, and the set would look great framed together.
