The description on the back of the card:
Bryan Hall, Ohio University, Athens, Ohio
Publisher: Logan’s – The University Store, Athens, Ohio. Curteichcolor by Curt Teich Co., Chicago, Illinois.
Logan’s Bookstore used to be at the corner of Union and Court streets in Athens, Ohio, near Ohio University.
Established in 1898, the Curt Teich Co. was best known for its wide range of advertising and postcards of North America. By the 1920s, it was producing so many postcards with borders that they became recognized as a type dubbed “White Border Cards,” creating an “era.” Later, Curt Teich’s innovations in this printing technique directly led to the production of what we now call “linens” by the early 1930s.
