"Economize by using Putnam Dyes and Putnam Dry-Cleaner."
Printed on the back of this die-cut advertising card: "Easter Greetings from Frank P. Allen, Shanks, W. Va."
A royal rabbit wearing a crown sits on colorful Easter eggs to promote Putnam Dyes—used for clothes but not eggs, as far as I know—and Putnam Dry-Cleaner, a solvent for home dry cleaning.
For another multicolored advertising piece from this company, see Putnam Fadeless Dyes and Tints Advertising Fan.

Red silk blouse, Express. Black belt with beads and silver embroidery, The Limited. Silver fabric flower pin, Newport News. Gray skirt with single kick pleat, Eddie Bauer. Black, patent slingbacks, Audrey Brooke. Hoop earrings with red beads, Liz Claiborne?
I bought this skirt way back in 2001, when I needed some dressy civilian clothing to wear when leading a volunteer English teaching group to elementary schools in Okinawa, Japan. After leaving the military, I thought I’d wear it to the office, but, after moving into our house in Cincinnati, the skirt disappeared! I suspected that it was sitting, unclaimed, at a random drycleaner until I found it underneath the chest in the India room. It had been there since Fall 2004. The poor dear was covered in cat hair, but cleaned up nicely. I’m very happy to have it back. I had quite given up on ever seeing it again.
P.S. It’s raining today.
With people working from home during the past twenty or so months, the need for dry cleaning dropped precipitately. In our area, at least three dry cleaning businesses have been shuttered during the past few months. I was a customer of this one for at least ten years, but they’ve closed their doors.

I am perplexed...:-), first to see such a diverse array of facilities in one establishment, and second, which service would actually bring you here. Oh, and if this were one of those little IQ tests "one door doesn't belong"
Taken in Grand Forks ND,... ok my American friends explain away....:-)))

This is one that I need to do a reshoot of. It's not easy to get the whole sign, but it was a great find

Testing another PC35 AF-M, but an SE model this time, which has a different grip and lacks ISO toggle to set ISO on non-DX marked rolls.
Cameras works okay, focuses and exposes well, but flash doesn't work. Also, although I cleaned a battery leak, power contact is lost occasionally, so I have to remove and re-insert batteries. Therefore, I ended up taking the battery door from this one to replace a missing door on another PC35 AF-M, so now I have 3 complete, fully-working units, and one mostly-working unit.

As Wikipedia explains, "Spook Hill is a gravity hill (an optical illusion where cars appear to roll up the spooky hill) in Lake Wales, Florida."
"Spook Hill, Lake Wales, Fla. It's weird! Fantastic! Stop on line. Release brakes. Watch for cars when you roll back. Prather's Laundry & Dry Cleaners. Watch for Prather's White Trucks."
Description printed on the back of this postcard: "A few blocks from the heart of Lake Wales is that mystifying and fascinating phenomenon, Spook Hill. Here playful ghosts apparently seize your car and in defiance of the laws of gravity and your previous experience in such matters, roll your vehicle gently backward uphill, while they chortle in unholy glee at your mystification.
Handwritten message: "Stayed here last night and went to Bok tower but it was so foggy. It is sunny now about 75 degrees. By the time this card is written we'll be in Miami. Torrey. Erna."
No address, stamp, or postmark.
Todd Franklin (Neato Coolville) also has a copy of this: Spook Hill Postcard.

A bit of a poser. Why would LFS 486 be trundling through Goldenacre screened improbably for service 45? It looks like that's a uniformed driver at the helm, not a fitter. No conductor in evidence.
No matter, we shall never know. I have written about my memories of Goldenacre before. Since my day it seems that the shops have undergone a sort of slide downhill - the drycleaner's seen here has become a newsagent, and a drycleaner's is now located a few shops further down the street. On the other side of the street there was a shoe shop, a baker's I think, and various other retailers.
The driver seems to be glowering at me through his tinted shades. He sports a very seventies moustache.
