Scanned the picture of Whitlock Shoes and Jack's Grocery while visiting the Hammond House in June 2010.

Fabiano's Ice Cream Parlor - 1930's

The picture of Fabiano's Ice Cream Parlor is from the 1930's.  Tony Fabiano and his son Orlando in the picture that Tony's son George sent me a few years back.  I still remember those great hamburgers and buffalo sundaes.

Trudgeon's Drug Store - 1954

Interior of Trudgeon's Drug Store, the picture was taken in June 1954.  Elma (Wisnieski) Carpenter who sent me the picture.  She worked at Trudgeon's before working as a teller at the bank.  Along with Elma behind the counter is Frank Trudgeon who opened the drug store in 1945.  I remember as a little boy going into the store and buying penny candy from the cabinet on the left side of the picture ...how patient he must have been, waiting for us little soles to decide what to spend our pennies on.  You can see the big safe in the background, from when the store had once been the Farmers Bank.

Downtown in the late 1950's

More recent picture of downtown (compared to other postcards, this one is rather new). Probably the only store front that's the same in the whole picture is the bank, and I am sure it's name has changed a few times since this picture was taken. Would guess the picture to be from the mid 1950's.

Miller's Grocery - 1950's

Picture provided to my brother Marty by Bob Miller, son of Carl Miller who owned the Miller Grocery at the corner of M-60 and Broadway. As a boy I remember delivering the Battle Creek Enquirer & News to the grocery when Bob Brott was the owner.  I had 15 rural customers who would pick their copy up at the store.  Always looked forward to my stop at the grocery to get warm in the winter and buy a snack for my walk back to town.
