EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage greeting card from Hobbs, New Mexico captures the essence of a prosperous and promising era. Dating back to 1941, it showcases the city as a gateway to endless opportunities in the southeastern corner of New Mexico. Situated along the East-West Highway and just a short drive away from the renowned Carlsbad Caverns, Hobbs boasts an enviable location. The print highlights one of Hobbs' greatest assets - its proximity to the largest oil producing territory in the world. Within a 100-mile radius lies an abundance of black gold that surpasses all other fields in the United States combined. The annual payrolls generated by this thriving industry alone exceed $3,500,000.00. However, oil is not Hobbs' sole claim to fame.
