Workplace Perks Circa 1912 - Wow Photo Wednesday

View of trolley cars on 15th (Fifteenth) Street at the intersection of Lawrence Street in downtown Denver, Colorado. Men stand beside commercial buildings; sit on horse-drawn wagons; or stand on trolley cars with numbers and lettering that read: "7," "2," "5," "6," "E. Eighteenth St.," and "Colfax Avenue." Signs painted on multi-story brick buildings read: "Garson, Kerng[ood & Co.] Clothiers, Furnisher[s]," "A. Jacobs & Co. Boy's Clothing," and "W.E. Stone Dentist" on the McClelland building.

Denver Rides The Rails

A group of people poses in the "Delta House Smith Bro's. Livery and Transfer" wagon, parked in the middle of unpaved Main Street in the town of Delta, Colorado. Men, women, and children sit in the cab, and two people sit on it. A boy sits next to the driver, who holds reins and a whip. The harness of one of the horses reads "Smith Bros. Livery."  Trees and commercial storefronts are in the background.
