dc.description	Color postcard showing downtown Battle Creek on the corner of Jefferson Avenue (now Capital Avenue) and Main Street (now Michigan Avenue). Note the City Bank and the interurban cars in the photo. 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: A Busy Corner on Battle Creek, Mich.
