DescriptionThe streetcar "Mabel," named for Edward Gardner Lewis' wife, was built by the St. Louis Car Company, and was on display at the St. Louis World's Fair in 1904. This may have been more of a promotion for the magazines and an opportunity for Lewis to keep the company name in front of the public visiting the Fair than for actual transportation. A leather bound log was printed for guests to sign. The streetcar was rarely seen after the Fair.
