From notes on the reverse of this postcard we know that this photo was taken in Gary on May 4, 1911, and that two of the men are Louis Maybaum and Grover Linton (presumably the two standing in front, but the notes don't specify which is which). It would have to be Gary, since streetcars were not running in Hobart in 1911.
The image below comes from a postcard dated March 4, 1912.
The reverse is rather interesting.
It's addressed to Mrs. Gilbert Bullock, who apparently is vacationing in Florida. I suppose that's our Estelle, though I haven't checked the census records to see if it might not be some niece-in-law of hers.
Her Hobart correspondent writes (I will insert some punctuation for her):
Dear Mrs. Bullock, Should Have written to you before. We are still Haveing Winter. Glad you are feeling better. Both of you. All aboard for Gary. Here is the car but the trouble is there is nothing to run it on. We missed you at auxillary last week. Best regards, Mrs. Banks.
