During the Linen postcard era (approximately the 1930s through the 1940s), hotels frequently produced colorful promotional postcards to showcase their accommodations and public spaces. Multi-view cards allowed travelers to see both the exterior architecture and interior amenities in a single souvenir. The Hotel Jefferson Davis promoted itself as Anniston's only fireproof hotel, emphasizing modern construction and guest comfort during a period when automobile tourism and business travel were rapidly expanding across the South.
