On back: "SF383634..... (San Francisco Bureau). MINT IS SHINED UP LIKE BRIGHT NEW COIN - SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF.--A face washing is in order for the San Francisco, Calif., Mint - west coast factory for those popular U. S. coins! Some 50,000 square feet of scaffolding, which completely envelopes the building (shown in photo) gives footing to the 15 workmen who apply sand and water under high pressure and who will use more than 100,000 pounds of sand before the job is finished. This is first washing for the building, which was completed in 1940. (See photos SF383635 and SF383636) Bureaus; CREDIT LINE (ACME) 11/30/45".
