Note the horse and cart in the back of the picture. It's 1911, and the Model T has been around for only three years.

1.
I couldn't quite read the printed description under WJ's message. I found the postcard online, but couldn't read that either. Something like:
Employees of the Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Company [something] for the Ardmore Trolley Line [something] East Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
2.
Going to the Expo presently.
I googled and found that Westinghouse was includeded in an Expo in Chicago earlier in the year, but nothing more. Maybe the display was set up in Pittsburgh for a while for people to see?
I figure WJ (known in his family as Willie) went to see the Expo and to visit Kathleen's brother Cecil, so I'm adding this to Cecil's document list even though he's not mentioned.
