Description
On the Back. Original spelled as cocoanut: Jacksonville, Florida. The Cocoanut Dock. Many years ago the Spanish brig "Providencia" cocoanut-laden was cast away off the Florida coast and the cocoanuts were washed ashore to find congenial climate and soil for reproductive growth. Today the nuts form a considerable item of export through the port of Jacksonville. The cocoanut wharf is one of the sights of the city.
The Hugh C. Leighton Co., Manufacturers, Portland M E., U.S.A. 26394. Made in Germany.
In addition, there is a short note written on the back that reads:
Florida wouldn’t be big enough to hold these “crackers” if they had anything here like that falls. How is this for cocoanuts? I think I would like very much to see your western country. I have a cousin in Seattle, Wash.
