Redfern Railway Station, Sydney

On the back along the left edge it says ''The Star Series - G. D. & D. London''  which would be printers Gottschalk, Dreyfuss & Davis (1909-1915), New York.  They also had offices in London and Munich - this must be from the London office.

This hand colored card has trolleys, horse drawn carts, women in long dresses with parasols (bottom, center-right), other pedestrians..

From what limited research I was able to do, Helma's (Or Aunt Helma's) appears to be closed.

Oh nice, anniem. If pictures could talk.  In this case, it doesn't have to say anything.

I don't think they were good at marketing.  The postcard photo was taken when there were no customers cars parked out front, and instead we got oil stained parking spaces... 

Different angle, happy customers strolling about..

They should have pushed the wedding angle in the photos.  Like showing the happy couple exchanging vows with a big cake in the foreground.  There appears to be a staging area in the top picture but it is kind of hard to see.

Bickleton?  Lol.

I grew up in rural eastern Washington State, it seemed like the middle of nowhere, but my town had 50,000 people, and more in the outskirts.  Bickleton is about as truly middle of nowhere as one could find in WA.  On our road trips to Oregon and Calif, we used to see the sign for the road to Bickleton from the highway in a hot, dry, sage brushy wasteland where a person could go hours without seeing anyone.

Pullman is also, um, remote, although that's where Washington State University is.  Clarence must be a student there.


Anyway, I love the Damp Procession,

Lol.  I was thinking Clarence was a student also.  According to Find A Grave, he lived to the ripe old age of 83.
