  Very spiffy automobile. Lots of brass!

  That's my grandfather - Roy Byron Aler (1887-1975) who was the carrier for RFD 1 out of Harbor Springs, MI for about 45 years starting in 1912. The date on the license plate is 1914. I have some similar photos and related postings at: picasaweb.google.com/donorgan/ReSmithsonian#

  Hi Don!
  It's great to hear from you, and thanks for the link! I will certainly forward this onto my colleagues at the National Postal Museum.
  
  Sincerely,
