The World Famous Sightseeing Observation Tramway Car history:
These cars were considered the "Golden Chariot" and was a tiered car originally built to hold a band. Two cars were made in 1905 and two additional cars were made in 1924. In 1954, a windshield was installed on the cars. All four cars toured Montreal until 1957. They currently reside in museums across Canada and the United States.

Message:
Dear Rachel,
How are the grapes?
Your letter of recent date received last night and was exceedingly glad to hear from you. Also glad to hear you are spending a few days at "Camp Colony" as I am sure you are having a fine time and the rest will do you good. I am getting along very well Rachel, at least Mr. Fuller thinks so and as he is manager of the Co. he ought to know. Mr. Fuller is gone or out on the road about 1/2 the time and he expects me to run things just as he would, if he was here and so far there has never been a complaint. Haven't missed a day since my return here Xmas. I have to put in seven days a week and until 9 & 10 o'clock every night. Just have to do it to keep work up. As to when I will come home I haven't the least idea in the world. just when I see a chance to get off for a week and goodness only knows when that will be. from the looks of things now, it will be about Xmas. well Rachel must go to dinner. Norm(?) is the same old girl(?) from what I can here. Haven't had a letter from her for 2 (?) weeks? K. L. Hoer?

    About​

    After purchasing a large lot of postcards I became fascinated! The idea that these messages are from over 100 years ago is amazing and I wanted a way to preserve and share them.
