1917réf. 48438Chicago IL: Dearborn Truck Co. Manufacturers 1250-1264 So. Campbell Ave. ca. 1917. One photo postcard 3.5 x 5.5 in. Photo image on front printed text on verso very minor edgewear to card slight creasing still a VG piece. A splendid example of Real Photo Post Card advertising during World War I providing an excellent visual reference for truck building in Chicago at the time. Dearborn Truck Company advertised themselves as a company that could build one- or two-ton truck unites from any make of car emphasizing Fords Packard Buick and Dodge frames. These inexpensive chain-driven trucks offered an excellent inexpensive truck at half the cost of a new truck and they provided a one year guarantee. They pointed out that during their production process they designed the truck to carry 90 percent of the load on the rear axle with its heavy truck wheels so there was actually less weight on the Ford front axle after conversion then on the front axle of a Ford touring car. Trucks could be purchased for $ 350 up to $ 500 with a used car. In 1918 they moved to 2515-25 West 35th St. a plant that was four times the size due to their rapid market expansion. See Dun’s Review Vol. 28 April 1917 p. 67; The Motor Truck Vol. 9 May 1918 p. 205. Dearborn Truck Co., Manufacturers, 1250-1264 So. Campbell, Ave., unknown
1940réf. 49051Greenville: Tri-State Coaches 1940. 1940. MISSISSIPPI DELTA BUS TRANSPORTATION. 8 1/2" x 7" in saddle-stapled printed wrappers. 10 pp. including wrappers. Illustrated. Route maps. Rare booklet from Tri-State Coaches promoting Greenville Mississippi as a transportation hub for their bus service in 1940. This piece is printed from entirely hand-drawn copy giving it a naive and charming feel from the ice-encrusted lettering of "AIR CONDITIONED coaches" to cursive treatment of certain key words to the drawing of one of the buses on the back cover. Centerfold map printed in red and black. It's intriguing to imagine who was riding these routes around and out of the Mississippi Delta in 1940--blues musicians Negro league baseball players African Americans headed north in the Great Migration etc. An amazing survivor and tangible bit of history. Some minor extremity rubs minor soil and a horizontal crease across midsection from booklet being folded long ago. A bit of rust around staples otherwise clean and sound. Tri-State Coaches, [1940]. unknown
1907réf. AE4-1821907. Silver prints 22. A fascinating collection of photographs documenting the first year Camp Moodna a "street car colony" in Mountainville New York which served as a summer camp for impoverished New York City women. Under the auspices of the Downtown Ethical Society Camp Moodna was founded in 1907 by social worker Rose Gruening "The Angel of Grand Street" and it consisted of about twenty "old horse cars taken from the barns of the Metropolitan Street Railway to the mountains of Orange County" housing a different group of women each week. Camp Moodna was named for a nearby body of water seen in a number of the present photos and its genesis was described in a lengthy 1907 New York Times article "Abandoned Horse Cars Make Summer Hotel". After the success of a similar summer camp for NYC's young men Gruening wanted to create a similar program for young women. However "tent life wouldn't do; for a tent has no guardian doors that girls could lock at night and all manner of crawly things could creep under the canvas and bring on attacks of the fidgets." So "twenty perfect specimens of the classical age in New York transportation were unearthed from beneath a deep strata of dust and cobwebs in one of the barns of the Metropolitan Street Railway Company carried into the mountainland of Orange County and set upon a hillside near a beautiful babbling brook." Transporting the trollies was "no Lilliputian task." The trollies had all been stripped of their wheels before being donated so they were each 3800 pounds of dead-weight. However a flat low-bodied wagon a big team of horses and a gang of husky men with crowbars and jackscrews finally got all the potential Summer homes loaded upon Erie Railroad flatcars." And when they got to Mountainville they were transformed into two-room apartments of parlor and bedroom. Two of the others were made into diningrooms another into a kitchen and still another into a hospital. In 1925 Camp Moodna was donated to the Grand Street Settlement in 1925 and remained in Mountainville until 1955 when flooding from Hurricane Diane forced it to relocate to East Stroudsburg Pennsylvania. It was later sold to fund Grand Street's Lower East Side community center located at 80 Pitt Street. From 4 1/2 x 2 1/2 inches to 6 x 8 inches ; A few printed 1930s. unknown
