1913 Haynes Roadster, and marvelous historical elements of city life 95 years ago
First, the car is one I've never heard of. It seems there were hundreds
of car makers that made a short run of cars, and then couldn't make a
financial success of it with all the competition. I love the people
catcher on the front of the trolley car
2nd, it appears that the car was posed and photographed by the same
photographer form 4 directions, and that gives a real good view around
the car at what else was happening in the area.

How about the knickers on the cop near the car, and the heavy long coat
on the other cop... which brings me to the prominent umbrella the
traffic cops were stationed under while they turned the stop sign to
direct traffic. No red, yellow and green lights to get traffic slowed
down before coming to a stop, nor any time delay between the cross
traffic getting into moving through the intersection once the "stop"
order was given to traffic moving through the intersection
