Our Desire

Our friend Ray Piesciuk has been scanning CA&E bulkhead advertising cards (the ones hung in the bulkhead windows between the cars' smoking and main compartments) from the Julie Johnson collection. A few duplicates have been passed along to us so that we can either use them in the cars or easily get them copied. The batch he's working on currently seem to mostly be from 1939-1940. These have now been posted in a special section on the fascinating www.irm-cta.org archive site Ray and Julie manage.

We should also mention that everyone here at Hicks Car Works also strives to act like we have only one reader, as we figure that sooner or later that's inevitably going to be true!

    The North Shore had a very similar version of this that went in a bulkhead frame. A pretty clear photo of the one in 714 is in the February 9th Saturday report. It's odd as the North Shore generally didn't put advertisements and car cards in their interurban cars.
