Additional Description: Wealthy investors considered the motorcar essential for travel between their orchards and town. As a result, a 1909 Mail Tribune article reported that the city led the entire world in the number of automobiles per capita--one car for every 30 residents. In this 1911 photo, autos surround a lone buggy heading east on Main Street.
