Rounding out transportation week, here are a couple of interesting bits of local history that appeared on Ebay back about a decade ago. The vehicle permits for Adie Knox Herman, wife of W.F. Herman, namesake of the high school and one time publisher of the Windsor Star, from 1932 & 1933.
How these slips survived and ended up on Ebay I’ll never know… but here they are. Have a good weekend everyone! See you back here Monday.

I really, really hate it when people refer to it as the "Adie Knox" centre, leaving off the "Herman". She didn't like it, either. W.F. was the founder of the modern Star, I think in 1919.
And if the "R" stands for rental, I'd bet it was company-owned and she paid a nominal sum in "rent".
