The Main Ingredient
Printed on the Reverse:
“The only cannery of green turtle soup in the United States is in Key West, and its products are exported all over the world wherever epicures congregate. The turtles weighing 300 to 400 pounds are caught in South American waters and penned in “crawls” and they gaze with stoic calm at the strange people who come to look at them.”

A Day’s Kill
Written on the Reverse:
“If you want to go bird hunting next year, you’ll have to come to Little Rock, Ark, and we’ll take you where you can get them. How is this [i.e., the boy’s “robe” of dead birds] for a day’s kill? Regards, Charles”
