Description	The streetcar "Mabel," named for Edward Gardner Lewis' wife, was built by the St. Louis Car Company, and was on display at the St. Louis World's Fair in 1904. This may have been more of a promotion for the magazines and an opportunity for Lewis to keep the company name in front of the public visiting the Fair than for actual transportation. The interior was divided into two compartments - a parlor and a buffet. It was decorated with inlaid woods, and was green with yellow upholstery. The car was rarely seen after the Fair.
