- Description:
- Color postcard depicting an auto stuck in mud with a bystander standing beside it. Printed on verso: The scene on opposite side was in Wisconsin - clingy clay. Ground had just thawed and wheels dropped in below the hubs. Passengers had to alight here but she readily got out of the hole herself - though she tore off a chain grip in doing so. You will notice the running board is resting on the clay, almost holding up the weight of the car. This made the traction poor, so the wheels spun helplessly till the passengers alighted. Thus relieved of weight she pulled out.
