Postcard

Linen postcard advertising the three locations of the Brass Rail bar, with three color illustrations of the establisments--two interiors, and one of two figures in relief of bar patrons leaning over the lintel above the exterior door of the Adams Street location as if it were a table. The text on the postcard reads:

In Detroit There Are 3 Brass Rails.
-Adams at Circus Park
-Michigan at Griswold
-Woodward at Boulevard
-There's a Brass Rail Convenient to Your Hotel

Printed text on the verso reads:

Life Magazine described the Brass Rails as "Detroit Restaurants to fit your purse." Open every day of the year, the Brass Rails serve everything from a Corned-Beef Sandwich to a Complete Meal; feature the longest bars in Michigan; and present smart entertainment free of amusement tax.
