Back Text (verbatim):
G-8—This greeting comes to you from Raton,
New Mexico, a beautiful and thriving city
nestled at the foot of famous Raton Pass. It
is a pleasure to stop your car near Goat Hill
en route over the Pass—and look down upon
the city, the beautiful valley and distant
mountains. Raton's history contains many ad-
ventures of early days. Coal mining and cat-
tle raising are the chief industries.
