"A Pretty Town Tho Full of Saloons"

Some time ago we met Jacob Van Nuys by accident, after he happened to mail a postcard from Hobart in the midst of a road trip from Chicago to Colon, Michigan in 1909.

Now, through the magic of Ebay, we discover that his son Arthur accompanied him on that trip.

Writing to his wife, Arthur described Hobart as "a pretty town tho full of saloons"!
