Photocopy of a postcard, the photo for which was taken by R. R. Cooper. Miners arriving for "Ole's Shift," standing in front of the bus.
From Ted Beck:
The Red Cliff bus line was probably started away back, probably in the 1930s, by Mickey Walsh. He got hold of a big old sedan, probably a Cadillac or Pierce-Arrow, that 7 or 8 men could crowd into and started hauling miners to Gilman. I don't think it was much of a success as it kept breaking down....
