The Glamour and Glory of Gambling (In Natural Color)



Someone needs an new publicist. I guess back when this card was taken, the mob still ran the table and quality control was less important then where Frankie was playing that night...At any rate, note the slogan of the post card company who produced this card. If the boss saw this, someone would be pushing up cactus.

    Reno winter pallor. In the summer they all look like 20 somethings and spend their days out on Lake Tahoe water skiing. In the winter they head to Reno and end up yellow from all the smoke in the casino. Perhaps just an option for the distasteful color?

    Maybe the photo was taken right after an a-bomb test upwind?
