Huff's Automatic Alleys is the subject of this c1915 postcard, a photograph of a bowling establishment that the copyright notice links to H. Musch Jr. of Youngsville, New York. Local businesses like this one were often pictured on real-photo postcards in the 1910s, which people mailed to friends or kept as souvenirs of a town's commercial life. The word "automatic" in the name deserves a closer look, since fully mechanical pinsetters did not come into common use until decades later, so the title may describe a particular feature of the alleys rather than full automation.
