Bingo!   Yes, I'd forgotten Des Moines, Iowa.    Thanks.    Now who  
built them.   At one time Cummings Car and Coach owned the Des Moines  
system and they built the last lightweight cars that ran in Des  
Moines.  CERA's Iowa book shows cars 500-539 built by McGuire- 
Cummings in 1916.    Thank you, Ed.
