[Sllew La Renim]
Description:

The caption on page 118 of "TIME WAS in Mineral Wells", first edition, 1974, by A. F. Weaver, states that the "SLLEW La RENIM Club was 'Mineral Wells' spelled backwards. The members pose in front of the Old Post Office in 1913: Anna Mae Guinn, Ernestine Pollard, May Belle Smith, Ann Locke Galbraith, Ruby Andrews, Mattie Withers." The ladies of the time used parasols to shade them from the sun. (There are seven ladies in the picture, but only six are identified. From the notes on the back of the picture, Mary Lee Hayes is believed to be the third lady in line in the picture.) The Mineral Wells Sanitarium, originally known as The Exchange Hotel, is shown in the upper left of the picture.
