"Local and Personal," Hobart News 7 Sept. 1922.
… I think "the Ainsworth corner" likely meant the intersection of present-day Ainsworth Road with Grand Boulevard. Hattie Sizelove was presumably coming from her farm east of Ainsworth, so leaving the Lincoln Highway at present-day Greene Street and taking Ainsworth Road to Grand would be a shortcut compared to staying on the Lincoln Highway all the way to Grand.
And Hattie's auto met John Wesley's just south of the Grand Trunk Railroad tracks.
I don't know whether this was John senior or John junior.
In Hobart, the female population was looking forward to Friday or Saturday night and a trip to the Gem Theatre to see heartthrob Rudolph Valentino in The Sheik.

Imagine getting into an accident in one of those old cars. It would be terrifying.
