Kem Plastic Playing Cards as it appeared during most of its life in Poughkeepsie. Note the entrance in the middle of the photo. The metal electric poles behind the building ran along the right of way of the Poughkeepsie & Eastern Railroad. The wires on the black poles in the front of the building were probably of wood and carried power at lower voltage levels to the nearby buildings.
