Image Description
Image of Kelly's General Store, located at the corner of Roblin Boulevard and Municipal Road, with a streetcar in front. This was the end of the streetcar line. Streetcars were first introduced on Christmas Day in 1908. The service was every half hour, which later changed to hourly. Even though there were few passengers, the streetcars were operated by two people, a Motor Man in charge of the car, and a Conductor who collected the fares. One-person-operated-streetcars came into effect in 1924 and were replaced by buses in 1935. The sign on the building reads "Real Estate". One of two copies, also see File:Kelly's General Store, with streetcar in front, 1909-2.jpg.
