Description Early 20th century humorous cartoon postcard. Shows motorists with early gas engine automobile, one working crank starter, as man comes behind him saying "Hey neibor, kin yer play "All Wound Round With A Woollen String?". The title was an old popular song; the joke being that the rube mistook the automobile for a barrell organ.
