"N, L and O, POWER CO." uncaptioned (so we use the erroneously punctuated sign on the building) real photo postcard with good focus & contrast from Myer & Co. (photographers in nearby Jordan NY), mailed at Weedsport February 5 1914. This is the local office of the Niagara, Lockport & Ontario Power Company which used excess electrical generating facilities of interurban systems at night to provide electrical power for street lighting & for businesses with evening hours in a wide area. Note their specialized vehicle to ride the rails of the electrified trolleys which provided interurban service regionally; this was needed because the condition of the electrical lines over the rails was of paramount importance to them. The card has several creases which are surprisingly inconspicuous when viewed from the front. Rare & instructive. Sold but front side still available for scholarly study & research as an enlarged (about 771% of original print area) & enhanced 200-dpi scan in .jpg format. $2.00 n(w)eu
