Although Cawston's Ostrich Farm raised birds to sell their feathers, they also had a tourist business partially promoted through streetcar lines that ran to the farm. Another image of the same rig calls it a delivery cart for the Cawston Farm. Two birds pull a cart and driver as another man stands behind the rig. There are two other postcards with the same image, PC-001-929 and PC-001-931, in this collection. The same picture is identified as in Jacksonville, Florida on another postcard.
