Description
Printed on reverse: This island is in the Pacific ocean, opposite to Southern California, about 20 miles from the mainland. It consists almost entirely of mountains which rise to a heights of 3,000 feet. Avalon is the only village on the island. It is situated on the east side, in a little cove or harbor. There are but a few of these harbors, in most places the mountains rise abruptly out of the ocean. Thousands of tourists and campers visit it in search of health and amusement, the principal sport being fishing. Written on reverse: "Charles H. Folk Piqua Ohio"
