Divided back postcard.Printed on front: 'Boll Weevil Monument, Enterprise, Alabama' Printed on back: '"Boll Weevil Monument" Unveiled Dec. 11, 1919. The only monument in the world, glorying a pest - the only record of a pest making a County one of the richest in the State from its production of peanuts and livestock. But for the devastation of the boll weevil over a period of many years Enterprise might never have been the "Peanut Capitol of the World" and the "Friendliest and the fastest growing town in the Wiregrass."
