This vintage postcard shows a "BATH HOUSE AT SWIMMING POOL IN MUNICIPAL PARK, FORT SCOTT, KANSAS."

It looks as though Glenn Scott, the postcard sender, took his pen and drew a diving board at the edge of the pictured swimming pool to illustrate what he wrote: "Here is a photo of you in action!"

The postcard was postmarked in August of 1939 in Fort Scott, Kansas and sent to "Dickie" Marblestone on West Vine in Taylorville, Illinois.

Irving Marblestone was Richard Irving Marblestone (1932-2017) who was born in Taylorsville, IL, and died in Elgin, Kansas.

After the years the item may show some typical wear.
