Here's the photo with caption: [www.shorpy.com] Really shows off those three trolleys.

Remember the Owl Drug jingle?
Quote:
Owl Drug Store, is located at the terminus of the cable line. The jingle is sung to the tune of The Irish Washerwoman, and a cable car hell clangs in rhythm in the background as the lyric unfolds:

Sure, the cable car's loadin' on Mason and Powell,
Because of the bargains they're sellin' at Owl;

From Market and Mission and Sacra-men-TO
They're rushin' to Owl because they all know . . .

(VOICE ON ECHO CHAMBER) You buy BETTER for LESS ... at OWL! [archive.org]
