Vintage chrome postcard of the First Christian Church, West Main and Jackson Streets, Clinton, Illinois, printed as an MWM Color-Litho card (Aurora, Mo.), number 74,279. The color view shows the red brick church with its white-topped bell tower, columned portico entrance and front sign. Standard size, about 3.5 x 5.5 inches. Postally used; light wear, a small crease at the lower edge of the front, and machine cancel lines across the sky.

The back is printed with the church name and the motto "An Undenominational Fellowship of Obedient Believers" and carries a typed visitor welcome: "It was a privilege to welcome you as visitors in our services recently... With this note we send an invitation to return. Yours in Christ," signed in ink by Winston Zastrow, Minister. Addressed to Mr. & Mrs. Luther Ledbetter, Greenville, Illinois, with a 5 cent Washington stamp and a Clinton, Ill. 61727 postmark dated Apr 30 (year not legible).

A nice piece of DeWitt County church history and mid-century congregational outreach.
