RAILROAD. "Construction work on the G. C. G. & N. R. R. A. J. Canaday,

corner crease & 2 long internal creases from the top edge. This single-track
short line (37+ miles) rail road was entirely in Kansas, connecting Scott City to Garden
City. Construction began in 1907 & was completed in early 1910. Thus we can date
the divided-back postcard within late-1907 to early-1910. That is a Reeves
tractor & a five-man crew doing the work. The short Wikipedia
article on this rail road expresses uncertainty as to the claim of construction by the Kansas
Construction & Irrigation Company. Here is photographic proof about one who
actually did the work, or at least part of the work, possibly as a subcontractor
to them! Belongs in a museum! $60.00 r(g)k(g)g

Miss Clara Harner in Paterson New Jersey. This postcard is an advertising
effort of the restaurant to secure the business of those traveling to or
from New York City via the Sandy Hook Route of the Central Railroad of New
Jersey to various New Jersey coastal resorts. This postcard in 1909
originally had the restaurant name misspelled Garrett, but the last t was
whited out in 2 places & corrected by this time of mailing, DEC 31 1913. The
incorrect spelling was used in advertising only once, as best we can tell,
on page 3 of the March 1909 The Suburbanite. Mysteriously that ad referred
to 'The Garrett Airship' implying there was balloon service from ship to the
top the building. We found no other such mentions, so if such service
existed it was only for a very brief time; one accident would have been
sufficient to discontinue it. Rare, corrected or not: when we searched the

"Mr. Neal Cochran / 1910" uncaptioned (so we use the writing on front) real
photo postcard picturing a famous motorcycle salesman on his lightweight Moto
Reve. The back, addressed & mailed to J. J. Keating in Lancaster Ohio on April
19th, elaborates: 'The photo show me and a light weight. I am now selling the
Moto Reve Swiss make weights 85 lbs. Your truly Neal Cochran' This is the exact
same image he sent to Motorcycle Illustrated, published in Vol. 5 page 136 with
accompanying text: 'popularity of the lightweight machine, for city use, is
rapidly growing on the Pacific Coast.' The spelling of the brand in Europe is
the French Moto-Ręve, meaning motorized dream. Neal Cochran was an employee of
the Wright Brothers in Dayton Ohio when they still made bicycles. He continued
to associate himself with pioneer aviators on the coast, getting married on an airplane
& then take for a ride therein, all reported back to the Dayton papers.

Writing on back continues in part: "The picture on the opposite side is the
Mrs. and I as we some times go joying(sic) riding. Neal Cochrane'. The
writer at that time was a former employee of the Wright Brothers bicycle
shop in Dayton Ohio, and was thus sufficiently skilled to modify what we
believe is the Harley-Davidson shown. The newly married couple continued his
association with pioneer aviators when on the West Coast. He and Leona Cowan
got married in the airplane of Turpin who them promptly took them up for a
ride. A ship followed that airplane as it flew over water, in case of
difficulties. The news made Dayton Ohio papers. Asked if she thought her
trip a bit dangerous she replied "I just love excitement, anyhow, and I knew
that there was not danger. Mr. Turpin is a fine pilot and and landed us
safely. It was a swell trip and one that no other bride has taken." The
small sign in the background informs its viewers that Venice California was 4
miles distant. Small bottom corner bend, trivial corner wear otherwise &
oxidation consistent with age. Sold but front

D-1424 Michigan Avenue / CHICAGO ILLINOIS" postcard with an enlarged black &
white illustration of the attachment on back, mailed 1908 to the Romeo
Electric Light Plant at Romeo Michigan. Astonishing illustration: a man,
woman & child each on their own bicycle riding a railroad track, stabilized
to the rail they are not on by the device. [And, hopefully, not encountering
a train coming from the other direction! The postcard never stated the
detachment time!] This device ostensibly made a smooth paved road out of a
railroad track, or so they thought. By showing a family on an outing, the ad
is essentially saying "Safe enough for your entire family." By showing a
woman riding a bicycle not in a public place and with her husband, she is
not being depicted as the loose woman some of her day might have thought. No
other offers or displays of this advertising when we searched the internet;
all we could find were black & white ads that appeared in a few magazines &
journals of the time. So the inventors did try to make money from the
invention, but evidently their efforts did not last long. Surprised? We
venture to say that the publicity of a few unfortunate accidents put this
bad idea to a well-deserved rest. Hopefully not many horrific family outings
resulted. $180.00 bi(c)ar(u)fg(c)
