Each Sunday, Christine, at The Daily Postcard, posts a card showing streetcars. So today I thought I'd surprise her with one I just found in a box of streetcars in Elmira, N.Y. The card was mailed on August 11, 1939 from a grandma to Miss Inez Heffron, who was about to turn 6 years old.

The card was published by the The Ruben Publishing Company in Newburgh, N.Y. Not finding anything online about the company. And I know nothing about Elmira or the streetcars.
What I do know about this card is that many of the people are fake. Fake folks. There are a few people who were actually in the photo, but the majority of them were drawn with funny little pointy legs. You might have to look at it larger to get the full effect. Unless perhaps there were people in Elmira in 1939 that looked like this. Nah, didn't think so.
