Title

2nd Ave. north from and James St., July 1912

Description

Hotel Butler appears on the left side of the street and the buildings on the right side of the street (from closest to furthest) are the Crown Building, Oriental Block and the Alaska Building. Transcribed from postcard: "The word "Potlatch" is from the Chinook Jargon, the trade language of the North Pacific Coast Indians. It means a gift or to give. In a larger sense the Indians applied it to a great festival at which gifts were made. Seattle's Golden Potlatch will be a great festival in celebration of the gift of gold by Alaska to the world through this City, the gateway of the Northern Empire. It will be a week of carnival and jollity. The opening date, July 17th, is the anniversary of the arrival of the first treasure ship."
