Fantastic video! This was at most 3 weeks before the earthquake (according to the comments on Youtube). Explains the creepy music choice I guess?

What a wonderful story of the area so hard hit in 1906 in the Video.. Thanks for finding this gem and bringing it to us.

Cool video. Thanks.
Everybody wore a hat. I didn't see ONE turning signal being used.

In the second video that gives more information, they said it was a time when every man, woman and child wore a hat! Since motor cars were scarce, they paid the 3 or 4 cars to keep circling and coming back to make it seem more exciting!
