Inscriptions printed in black on applied label affixed to verso, LC: (FFG) / S-5241 \ Regions of the United States - the Southwest \ 3. Some tracts of the Southwest, though rich in miner- \ als, are too dry to produce anything but cacti such \ as these giant saguaros. Science may some day find \ means to exploit these arid lands, but this strip of \ Arizona will remain as a memento. The U.S. Government \ has declared it a national monument. [sideways]
