Summary Note

Margaret recalls transportation in her childhood, how easy it was to travel around in the city and its neighboring towns because streetcars were everywhere. She tells about the shops on Central Street near the railroad station. The annual income of A.D., Margaret's father, was $5,000, which was considered a substantial amount in those days.
