The most common view of downtown Fargo is "Broadway Looking North." The photographic postcard above, from 1909, is a marvelous picture of Broadway looking north from NP Avenue. Note on the left, the sign for the Democratic Headquarters. Moving north we see a billiards and bowling establishment. On the right (east) side of the picture we see Merchants National Bank; the Western Union Telegraph & Cable Service next door; and stores for furs, eats, furniture, and clothing. The street has a number of both automobiles and horse-drawn wagons. Note the automobile of the far right. It has license plate number 46! On the street itself we can clearly see the tracks for the street railway and above we can see the electric wires that powered the system.
