"California Oil Wells At Sunset. These silent producers, silhouetted against a late afternoon sky, represent just a few of the thousands of derricks that sky line the many oil fields in California." Franked with three $0.01 green Washington coil stamps, and cancelled at the Los Angeles Cal. Terminal Annex 27 May 1971.

B. notes to Mrs. Iola Millar, Venice, that these oil wells used to be out our way before the harbor.

[Having just begun to install a series of Millar family post cards, it is clear that they were sent in 1960.]
