"HAYNES PICTURE SHOPS, Inc. / Yellowstone Park, Wyoming / and Saint Paul, Minn. U. S. A." is on three lines in the bottom left corner.

Text on the long side that meets the bottom edge of the box top: "Souvenir Post Cards~" is in the top left, and "by Haynes" is in the bottom right, both in a solid, thin serif font. "HERE'S THE HUNDRED" is between them in the center in an outline font. The interior of the box lid is a light tan, flecked cardboard. The box top is heavily worn on the edges and corners. One corner is completely torn. The Object ID number assigned by Museum of the Rockies is written in pencil on the interior of the box lid.

"Can you name 33 different Yellowstone flowers? Fifteen kinds of trees?" "Which are the 15 most important kinds of wild animals? How many of each kind are in the Park?" "Are fishermen required to obtain licenses to fish in the Park? What kinds of fish are caught?" "When did Uncle Sam buy the land which is now Yellowstone National Park? When was the park established?" "Where are the hotels, lodges, public automobile camps, picture shops, general stores, bath houses, cafeterias, ranger stations, museums and hospitals located?" "If you can answer these and thousands of other questions relating to the Park you do not need a copy of Haynes Guide Book (until you return home and wish to refresh your memory)." "Why do travelers need a guide book?" "If it's the last thing you do in the Park, I'd get one. Everybody does." The sides of the box bottom do not contain text.
