Alabama Postcard: YMCA Camp Cha-La-Kee

I'm not sure how I acquired this postcard, but here we are. Camp Cha-La-Kee is a YMCA facility that opened on Lake Guntersville in 1957. You can click on that link to explore their programs.

This card probably dates from the 1950s, and was printed by the Artvue Post Card Company on Fifth Avenue in New York City. The company opened in 1948 and during the 1950s sold many black and white postcards instead of the more popular color cards. Between 1951 and 1963 the company issued a series of cards featuring the plaques of members of the Baseball Hall of Fame. 

Wikipedia has a nice history of postcards here
