dc.description	Color postcard showing a view looking northward on Jefferson Avenue (now Capital Avenue, Northeast) from the corner of Main Street (now Michigan Avenue). Note the Interurban car in center and the bank buildings on either corner. Interurbans were electric light railroads which connected all of the major cities in Michigan from the 1890's into the 1930's when they were phased out due to increased use of automobiles. In the countryside the electric cars were powered by a third rail system and in the cities generally by overhead electric wires. Caption on front: 4471. Jefferson Avenue North, Battle Creek, Michigan.	en_US
