One of the Many Flower Beds, Where Life is Worth Living, Detroit, Mich.

Description:

Color postcard depicting a floral design in Grand Circus Park arranged to read "In Detroit Live is Worth Living", with buildings in the background and people seated on benches. Printed on verso: In Detroit Life Is Worth Living. - This Floral display is located in East Grand Circus Park, the oldest of Detroit's breathing grounds, and is situated in the center of the City's retail district. Magnificent shade trees are everywhere, real monarchs of forest that started to grow even before a white man set his foot on what is now the State of Michigan. The park was set aside in 1854 under the general redistricting of the City. In the foreground Detroit's slogan is brought out very prominently in beautifully colored foliage. Handwritten message on verso, postmarked Apr 24, 1912.
