Linen Postcard from 1943 showing various landmarks of the time. Each letter encapsulates scenes from the city:

M -- Fifth Avenue Building and the Home of John Deere (now location of the Mark)
O -- Moline Public Hospital and Lutheran Hospital (both gone)
L -- Moline Swimming Pool and the Government Bridge (both gone)
I --   Sacred Heart Church and Scottish Rite Cathedral (now called Scottish Rite Center)
N -- Iowa - Illinois Memorial Bridge (the 1935 span) and Fifth Avenue
E -- Post Office and the Le Claire Hotel

This nifty page was copied from this MHS Reunion website, Darrell and Betty Hagberg.
