PC producers auto-Harrison.jpg (228076 bytes)                                Stageway Coaches.jpg (203112 bytes)

   The driver in this 1909 Harrison postcard was named Atherton. He was apparently a producer of postcards. The second card above is Stageway Coaches, a limousine service, that was located at 414 East Court Street, Cincinnati.

 

Stanley Hardware Co..jpg (125678 bytes)

   I believe the panel truck in the above postcard is made by the American Austin Co., or its predecessor the American Bantum which took over in 1935. I don't know the year of this image of the neat little vehicle belonging to the Stanley Hardware Co. at 4857 Glenway Avenue, but I am hoping someone "out there" can help me out.

   There was a automobile show that was held February 21-26, 1910. This card was put out by the J. H. Ratliff  Automobile Co. 30 Opera Place . It shows all the American winners of cups given out at that show.

   The images above and below are of the automobile parts store of Coughlin & Davis, around 1913, that was on Seventh & Walnut Sts. in Cincinnati. The first 2 images is a doublecard which, if you wanted their catalog,  had to be torn apart and the outside bottom portion was mailed back. The third image is a different image of the interior using a regular postcard. The last image above is of the exterior of the store. You can also see the Hanauer Auto Co. that was next door. The two card images below is, I believe, a 1946 card of the same company. The C & D Auto Supply, Inc name could be a coincidence but I don't think so. By 1946 the company had moved to 309 Findlay Street. The last card below is an advertising card.

A couple of pieces of trivia:

 

BUSES

Greyhound-1.jpg (138258 bytes)                Greyhound-2.jpg (95955 bytes)                Greyhound Station-er.jpg (258803 bytes)

   Located at the southwest corner of 5th and Sycamore this Greyhound Bus Terminal opened in June of 1942. During the war years 175 buses arrived and departed every day. There are many cards of this depot and almost all of them are a variety of the first card. The third card is very rare, this is the only one I have ever seen. The reason for this is pretty obvious, there is a major flaw in the image the width of the card. These cards were probably never intended to be placed on the market. This one slipped thru somehow, this is my guess anyway. Anybody else have one of these?
   There was also a Trailways Depot in Cincinnati, I know because that is how I arrived in the city in the early 60's. I have never seen a postcard of this depot.

 

Cincinnati Sightseeing Cars (Buses)

   As can be seen on the front of the Auto Sight-Seeing Car itinerary above, these "buses" were sponsored by the organization of Cincinnati Advertisers. Starting at 5th & Vine it would show off several of the main hotels and businesses in Cincinnati before heading out to the suburbs via Eden Park.
