Real photo of the double-ten-pin crossarm lines that traversed thru this rural comminity around 1900. Hemingray and (H.G. Co.) insulators were commonplace in that day throughout the midwestern United States and goodness knows what fabulous colors adorned the street scenery/landscape through comminities like this back then!
