Notes
Title from photographer's manuscript note on verso.
Photographer's manuscript note on verso: 69" and Market Sts. Do you remember them when they were like this? Men grabed [sic] the hand rail and swung aboard before the car came to a stop. The pole was always parting company with the wire. The boys and men crowded the front and back platforms. You froze inthem during the winter, baked during summer and all year around, after a long ride, got off at your destination with a backache, because the seats were so comfortable - not. Them was the good old days - maybe.
Gift of Margaret Odewalt Sweeney.
