CANADAY. GARDEN CITY, GULF & NORTHERN RAILROAD. "Construction work on the G. C. G. & N. R. R.  A. J.

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! $80.00 r(g)k(g)g

Y // The WRIGHT BOYS & GIRLS / LANDING AT THE RIGHT PLACE // 23 CLOUDS / to the / GARRET / RESTAURANT / Chas. A. Carrigan" postcard mailed from Clifton New Jersey to 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 Internet we found no other offers, current or previously. $22.50 a(p)n(n)r(c)g(c)

COCHRAN. "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-Rêve, 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. Sold but front side still available for scholarly study & research as these 2 enlarged 300-dpi scans (publication quality) in .jpg format for $3.75 either or $7.25 both. mg(c)c(l)

COCHRAN. "Well here's looking at you. Mr. and Mrs. Neal Cochran / Los Angeles Calif / June 21 1910" uncaptioned (so we use all the writing on front) real photo postcard. 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 side still available for scholarly study & research as 2 enlarged 300-dpi scans (publication quality) in .jpg format for $3.75 either or $7.25 for both.  mc(l)g(c)

COEY. "The COEY BICYCLE ATTACHMENT / Invented and patented by C. A. Coey. / Fits any bicycle. Weighs only eight pounds. / Can be folded when not in use. Can be attached in / three minutes. Greatest seller of the age. Agents / wanted. Order today. First order secures agency. / PRICE $12.00 / C. A. COEY & CO. / 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)

Kroeger & Sons pianos are still noted for their exceptional quality & design, somewhat simpler than the highly carved Victorian styles. The Addison part of the caption is a small village in Lenawee County; the Tecumseh on the wagon may be in case the onlooker had not heard of Addison.

DREW. Uncaptioned sepia-tone real photo postcard showing a lady with 2 children & a dog posed on a Kerry motorcycle with side car & English license plate H.5084. Mailed OCT 2 1909 from London. The name Kerry is plainly on the motor to the left of the boy's foot; the teenage girl's dress probably covers the company logo on the fuel tank. The basket for the side car has an interesting history. From 1904 to 1907 Kerry made a Tri-Kar, which was a three-wheel motorized bicycle on which passengers rode up front in a large basket, with supporting wheels on either side of them. [You can view the Tri-Kar in an advertisement in the November 1st 1904 The Motor.] The Kerry Company manufactured motorcycles until 1915, according to the authoritative cybermotorcycle.com/euro/brands/kerry.htm. We see from this rare photograph that they put their sturdy-basket-making know-how to work on side cars in their later years. Notice how English side cars were to the driver's left, in contrast to American side cars which were to the driver's right. That difference arose because respective drivers drove on different sides of the road. Alongside the handwritten communication on back is a neat handstamp reading 'S. E. DREW, 11, Westbourne Rd. Barnsbury, N.', a fairly fashionable London residential address to this day, who was the sender. Altogether a rare image: we could not find any other image of a Kerry motorcycle with side car when we searched the Internet. Sold but front side still available for scholarly study & research as an enlarged 300-dpi scan (publication quality) in .jpg format for $3.75. me(l)g(d)
