| Summary: |
Volume 4 [formerly Volume 90]: The date range of this volume is 1940 to 1947. The volume contains studio portraits of PTC executives, including Ralph T. Senter, president of the Philadelphia Transportation Company at the time. There are photos of a farewell banquet held in April 1940 for John Wesley Frazier, Superintendent of Transportation, including one showing all the women employees. As he does on many occasions, Foreman credits Charles Martini for most of the candid photographs, including several of a conductor and motorman named Hiram Smith who Foreman refers to as “Philosopher.” Additionally, there are more holiday cards from 1946 and 1947, a get well card to Mr. Foreman dated 1944, and pages with names written at the top or bottom but photographs missing.
