Title:

Reporter’s Notebook: Toll Gates.

Description:

An article detailing the opening of the toll plaza on the Northeast Extension portion of the Pennsylvania Turnpike. I believe this section of the turnpike is still present at the same location? The article also references the 90s, which would be the 1890s, which I think is super interesting. The envelope included with this piece has writing in cursive that is too difficult to make out.
