Thanks to our fans!!!... (this time that's you, Bruce) we have answered a question posed on page 65 of our book,
Warrensburg and Johnson County (Vintage Postcard Series) from Arcadia Publishing, 2004, by Carol Berkland, Herb Best and Lisa Irle. The JCHS collection contained this postcard with notations in ballpoint ink on the back concerning the last trip of a horsedrawn trolley that once made the newspapers in New York city for its annual trip to prove it existed. The back of the card was full of informations about the "other resort" in Warrensburg -- Electric Springs. The building didn't look at all familiar, nor did the name of the photographer. Now, thanks to Bruce and his searching on the internet, we can conclusively report that this postcard came from Winfield, Cowley County, Kansas and had nothing at all to do with Electric Springs here in MO. Beware those handwritten notes of history, always double check. That was the lesson. Glad we hedged our bets on the caption written 8 years ago.
