    Post Card
    [Stamp] United States Postage 1 Cent 1 Franklin
    [Postmark]Port Angeles Wash May 11 10:30 AM 1937
    Visit Our Hospital on May 12th
    National Hospital Day, inaugurated May 12, 1921, has become an occasion when hundreds of thousands of people visit the hospitals. It is a day for open house. It is an opportunity for the public to visit the community institution, to learn something of its services, facilities, purposes and problems. The hospital has become an important factor in community life. It is a place, not only for the care of the sick, but for teaching and research. It is, in fact, a health center. You are cordially invited to visit us. You will have an interesting and profitable time.
    We Cordially Invite You
    [Typewritten] Major and Mrs. Arther Vollmer 207 So. Jones Port Angeles, Wash.
