Ed Woehl in front of his store in Bucktown - Photo by Tiffany Bauer

Back in 1953 there were some great deals on used cars...

This was my dad's uncles' store-cafe, Edgar Cafe. It was located in Defuniak Springs, Florida. Don't know who the girls were but I'm assuming they were family. It was around 1930-1945

This photo was taken by Lewis Wickes Hine, a professional photographer, who did a series focused on child labor. Mr. Hine utilized his camera for social reform, and was particularly instrumental in changing child labor laws. This image shows two very young children working a textile mill in New England, 1873. Other Lewis Hine photography collections include steel-making machinery and workers, American Red Cross relief in Europe during WWI, the construction of the Empire State Building, and the Great Depression. Lewis W. Hine was born on September 27th 1874 in Oshkosh Wisconsin and died on November 3rd, 1940.

Glaeser & Campe Store General Store, Cook County, Illinois in 1909: View looking NE across Sauk Trail. To the left, out of frame in this picture, is the Illinois Central railroad track, which remains to this day. The house to the right of the Campe store has been moved a time or two, but still existed as a coffee shop in 2010. The Campe family were early settlers in the Richton Park area. Margaret Campe married Ed Klawitter. Her mother "Old Mrs. Campe", was one of the last pioneer ancestors buried in the St Anne's Cemetery. There was a great fuss, as the paperwork seemed to 'have been misplaced' at a time when burials were being discouraged at that location. But Old Mrs Campe was not to be denied and they had to find room for her. This photo is taken looking N.E across Sauk Trail, just East of where the Illinois Central RR tracks cut across Sauk Trail. One of the houses to the east (right in the photo) still exists, though it has been moved a time or two, to widen the road, and was as of 2010 still in use as a coffee house. Ed Klawitter and his wife Margaret raised their family in this house, in the 1940's, 50's, & 60's. Ed Klawitter, a popular man with a pleasant nature, was mayor of Richton Park for a time and a local park bears his name.

Robert Reinhold Klawitter (photo taken in 1908 in Illinois) was a woodworker at the Steger Piano Factory (Inset) and a volunteer fireman with the Steger Fire Dept. (main photo)

Vintage car driving into one of the earliest drive-in theaters in California sometime in the early or mid 1930's. The drive-in theater was created by Richard M. Hollingshead Jr. when he first nailed a screen to a few trees in his yard, aimed a 1928 Kodak projector from the hood of his car, and placed speakers behind the screen. Richard continued to experiment with various settings, included neighbors, and found that people gravitated towards watching films outdoors. Due to people's interest, Mr. Hollingshead applied on August 6th 1932 for a patent and was given U.S. Patent 1,909,537 on May 16, 1933. The drive-in theater quickly gained popularity and became most popular in the late 1950's and early 1960's when over 4,000 drive-ins appeared across the United States. Some of the first recorded drive-in theaters include: Drive-in theatre: Camden, New Jersey June 6th 1933 Shankweiler's auto park: Orefield, Pennsylvania July 5th 1934 Drive-in short reel theater: Galveston, Texas July 5th 1934 Pico: Los Angeles, California September 9th, 1934. This particular photo might be of the Pico drive-in in Los Angeles California. Pico attempted to solve the noise pollution issue of early drive-ins by introducing a row of speakers in front of the cars (as opposed to next to the screen or on towers) in 1935. This issue was resolved in 1941 when RCA brought in-car speakers with volume control to the industry. The advertisement in this photo reads: DRIVE-IN THEATRE SIT IN YOUR CAR SEE AND HEAR TALKING PICTURES ON THE WORLD'S LARGEST SCREEN CALIFORNIA'S FINEST

Portrait of Elizabeth Hobbs Keckley - the dressmaker to Mrs. Abraham Lincoln. Born into slavery in 1818, in November 1855 she purchased her and her son's freedom in St. Louis Missouri. She later moved to Washington D.C. where she began a dressmaking business employing 20 seamstresses who provided fashion to the wives of elite politicians including Varina Davis (wife of Jefferson Davis), Mary Anna Custis Lee (wife of Robert E. Lee) and of course the First Lady Mary Todd Lincoln.

Shown here is the 48th Golden Rule Store which would later become J. C. Penney. James Cash Penney wasn't the first owner of the Golden Rule company. In fact, he was brought into the company with the two existing founders who already operated two Golden Rule Stores. He opened his first store and later open two additional stores under the same name and partnership until he bought complete control in 1907. By 1912 he had 34 stores and consolidated them all under the name J. C. Penney in 1913.

James Cash Penney opened the Golden Rule store shown here in Kemmerer Wyoming with two partners on April 14th 1902. This store still exists today along with a newer JC Penney Company store that is considered the "mother store" that opened in 1935.

JC Penney was THE shop for everything from clothes to appliances. From it's humble beginnings in 1902 until its peak in 1973 when the company operated over 2,000 locations nationwide. By 2020 JC Penney had over 800 locations until it announced on June 4th 2020 that the bankrupt company would be closing 154 stores.

A photo of Amelia (Perry) Hewitt with her family outside of her shop. Local historian "Paul Gibson" (paul-gibson.com) tells me that Amelia was listed as a beer retailer at 27 Finsbury Street in Hull, in 1913. This could be the very shop recorded in the listings. This is not my original photograph, so this is the best quality scan I have I'm afraid.

Photo of publican John George Heywood and others, with a horse drawn vehicle, outside the Turf Club Hotel in Dandenong Road. The hotel included a Post Office. The original weatherboard single-storey Turf Club Hotel was built by John George Heywood in 1871 in Dandenong Road, opposite the entrance to Caulfield Racecourse. John George Heywood, a prominent racing personality, was the hotel's publican until the turn of the century. In 1879 the railway line severed the direct route from the racecourse to the hotel. In 1923 the timber hotel was replaced by a two storey brick building. Dan Murphy's took over the hotel building in 1994 and was later demolished

Bill was a quiet & shy child who was mostly interested in reading. He attended public school until his parents sent him to the private Lakeside School in Seattle Washington where he was introduced to computer programming and met Paul Allen, his later partner in founding Microsoft.

This photo has gone missing. If I find it, I will edit this post. A detail photo of the Triangle Film Corporation photo showing laboratory workers.

This photo has gone missing. If I find it, I will edit this post. A photograph of mostly female workers at Triangle Film Corporation's film laboratory. The photo looks as though it may have been cut down from a larger picture, possibly showing more of the building. Triangle only produced films between 1915 and 1919. The last movie released under the Triangle name came out in 1922 or 1923.
