Check out the size of the palm trees..........



I have most of those postcards except for the last three. Look at the size of the trees in front of the building and then the size on the first few cards. I also have a book on the history of Venice Florida and how KMI coming in the mid 1930's really help save the town. Things were so bad that you could rent a new house in Venice for $5 a month and some people could not afford that. Venice was a town that was build overnight and almost disappeared overnight.
