The postcard shown above was mailed from Hobbs on September 7, 1936. The signs in the background advertise several
local businesses that were operating at the time including Jackson-Horne Grocery, Daniel's Man's Shop, Wacker's, Petroleum
Night Club and Jobe-Rollins Chevrolet. The baseball scoreboard on the right side of the picture is evidence that this may have
been taken at Bender Park, which was located at the intersection of West Broadway and Marland. Hobbs had organized baseball
teams from the very early days, and had teams in several leagues over the years. (See the Baseball in Hobbs page)
