Traction Wire

Title	:	Real Photo Postcard: Illinois Traction System wires, Catholic Church, Gillespie, IL.
Date	:	March 2, 1907
Description	:	This real photo postcard has an undivided back and with the postmark means the photo predates May 1907 when divided back postcards became legal in the United States. The obvious point of the card's photo is the Catholic Church, but the IT's traction wire shows clearly above Macoupin Street. No identi- fying number or publisher is given on the card.
