This sepia-toned postcard showcases a bustling Wichita, Kansas street scene circa 1900-1910, complete with horse-drawn carriages and a streetcar traversing Douglas Avenue. The front features advertising for Kern’s Ladies’ Goods and other businesses in the heart of Wichita. This “Photoette” postcard, published by Geo.
