Description: Paradise Inn Motel and Restaurant, Champaign, Illinois Postcard Pete Tomaras and his wife Julia built the Paradise Inn Motel located 709 N Dunlap Ave, Savoy, IL 61874. They ran the hotel at least 25 years. The Motel is now named Best Western Paradise Inn. Thomas Dexter Press 1934-1977 West Nyack, NY. 96751 dated 1956-1957: Thomas A. Dexter opened his first printshop in Park Ridge, NJ in 1920. He moved to Pearl River, NY eight years later, and by the 1930’s he was producing postcards, mostly linens but also black & white and hand colored cards covering a wide variety of subjects. Although an early pioneer of natural color images, the firms output seems to have only turned exclusively to photochromes after they moved to West Nyack, NY around 1952 when their old shop grew too small. Most of the photochromes printed by Dexter Press bore the words Genuine Natural Color. Please review the photos carefully for condition and detail. Normal wear associated with an old postcard might have creases, corner bumps, ink on the front etc.
