Advertising text printed on verso: “The Traymore,” Sea end of Illinois Avenue, Atlantic City, N.J., Will re-open for the reception of guests June 1st. The House, situated at the sea end of Illinois Avenue, containing upwards of seventy apartments and being one of the nearest to the beach (which is within 100 yards), with nothing to obstruct the view, gives it the advantage of having more pleasant Ocean rooms than any other house of its capacity in Atlantic City.
