Description
Pasted onto paper with typed caption: The famous "peep-shows" of Holy City, each replica of a well-known church was incorporated with a slot machine, where for pennies or nickles one could see the philosophy relating to each specific religion. Made by [Irvin] Fisher to operate for 5 minutes or 30 minutes depending on the coin inserted. Facing toward West, from Main Street. Three automobiles are parked in the dirt area surrounded by the peep-shows. Postcard back is blank, with an AZO postage stamp box.
