About this postcard

The Metz Auto Factory in Waltham, Massachusetts, seen in a long view. A row of early automobiles is parked in front of the plant, and railroad tracks run across the foreground. The printed caption calls the scene "General View." Waltham was a manufacturing city, and the Metz Company was one of its early automobile makers; the cars outside the factory give a sense of the plant's output in the 1910s.
