Racing horses down Main Street,
Betting which horse was more fleet…
Stay out of the way
On racing day,
A collision wouldn’t be so sweet!
–
The Douglas-made washing machine,
rocked dirty clothes clean….
Mostly of wood,
Sales weren’t good
Compared with other brands of machine.
–
From trains on Depot Street,
An omnibus people would meet….
Coal, wood, grinding stones
Carried to mills and homes,
The last active freight station on this rail line—what a feat!
