FJ&G Taylor Truck letter 3-27-99 002
The Fonda, Johnstown & Gloversville Railroad operated both an electric interurban line (abandoned 1938) and a steam road (abandoned 1984) in the Schenectady area of New York State. This 1899 letter from the Taylor Electric Truck Company is a fun glimpse back at business correspondence 125 years ago. Taylor's elaborate double-sided stationary featured this truck diagram printed on the back, useful for calling out specifics for a parts order. Scan of an original letter in my collection.
