dc.description	Postcard showing a view looking east on East Main Street (now Michigan Avenue East) from the corner of Jefferson (now Capital Avenue). The Old National Bank on the corner was on the site of the modern W. K Kellogg Foundation headquarters. Note interurban car. 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: MAIN ST.
