Running the Rapids, Ausable Chasm, New York
Ausable Chasm is a sandstone gorge tourist
attraction near Keeseville ,
New York Ausable River runs
through it, which then empties into Lake Champlain . You gotta love the hats, ties and dresses worn for the river ride!
The catalog number on this Detroit "Phostint" postcard dates it as being published between 1909-1910.

Pouring Copper
A "Phostint" card from Detroit Publishing Co. The DPC was the only American company to license the Swiss photochrom
process, which they would eventually register in 1907 under the name Phostint. Based on the number of this card (10037), it was published between 1906-1907 but is postally unused.
Although the photo doesn't convey it, I'm sure that copper pouring was not only a strenuous job but a hot one too.
