The postcard promotes the Howland Springs in Trumbull County, Ohio as a beautiful and convenient destination for relaxation and healing. The water from the springs is said to have medicinal properties that are effective in treating scrofulous and dyspeptic diseases. The proprietors have built a large hotel with various amenities such as a billiard room, bowling alley, and dancing hall to ensure a pleasant stay. The grounds are well-maintained with walking paths, rustic seats, bridges, and fountains. The postcard encourages people seeking pleasure, relief from health issues, or a break from work to visit the springs, which offer the same benefits as distant locations but at a lower cost. The nearest railroad point is Niles, which is easily accessible from any direction. During the summer season, carriages are available to connect with trains. The postcard includes a scene from Trumbull County in 1868 and is a complimentary advertisement from Frank Kenley, a candidate for Trumbull County Commissioner in 1968.
