Mount, Recto:
l.l. in graphite: OJINAGA, MEXICO
l.r. typed on paper label: Ojinaga, the port of entry on the Mexican side of the Rio Grande, op- \ posite the Texas town of Presidio, is typical of small Mexican cities in \ the interior, rather than those along the Border. Remote from tourist \ travel, and the bustle of cities, this town lives at a pace commensurable \ with the farming community which surrounds it, and one feels here the \ true Mexico, less influenced by its American neighbor.
