Serving quality food that we believe you particularly desire. Only women are employed in the kitchen of THE WAGON WHEEL because women, through their innate sense of taste and daintiness excell in the fine arts of cookery. These enjoyable meals served in the quaint atmosphere of THE WAGON WHEEL will appeal to the most exacting appetite.

Mailed from Rockford, Illinois to Miss Viola Guither of Freeport, Illinois on September 18, 1950:

Dear Viola – Thanx again for the transportation. Who gets about more than you do?????? So in Dallas the people are slow, guess that’s the place for me they say I must slow up. I’ll agree the Ozarks are beautiful. Specially in seasons of plenty of moisture.
Love, Mabel
