It says "Midway between Chicago and Detroit. 126 rooms, color TV, telephones, heated pool, shuffleboard, pitch and putt, picnic grills, children's play area. Banquet rooms, Convention Hall, Executive Suites. Continental breakfast." and also "Adjoining Tur Mai Kai restaurant offers finest American-Polynesian cuisine". I included an image of the postcard in a piece I did for the next Tiki Magazine as well as some other fun stuff. I don't want to spoil it for Nick, so you'll have to check out the magazine when it comes out. I think you'll get a kick out of it. -Duke
