Richard Allen Hobart, eight pounds and two onces, was declared the winner of the Baby Derby of 1950.  His parents are Mr. and Mrs. Oscar F. Hobart, Jr., who lived in Pammel Court.  Grandparents are Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Hobart of Centerville, and Mr. and Mrs. J.E. Talbott of Brooklyn, Iowa.

This 1905 image is from a tinted postcard. It shows Onondaga Street (Main Street) between Kellogg and Douglas.  Most of the buildings shown are still in use in but with modernized fronts.  Photographer G.T. Hart's Studio  is shown at the far right.   Next is the Ames Savings Bank, built in 1903 by Andrew James Graves.

Looking east on Main Street from the Kellogg corner as two men alight from the Ft. Dodge, Des Moines, and Southern Interurban car which is headed east (note the direction of the trolley). On the right hand curb can be seen a sports car with bucket seats. The automobile is parked in front of a real estate building (one-story frame covered with tin siding, simulating brick). The Fair Store follows to the east. Carr Harware is on the north side of Main. The tallest building on the north side is the Odd Fellows building (constructed in 1901, destroyed by fire, December 1917). The buildings to the east of it were built in the 1880's and 1890's. The Ames power plant is seen off in the distance. The street has wood block paving.
