Earl Muntz was flamboyant and outrageous. He started as a "used-car" salesman, then became a auto-magnate with the purchase of an aluminum bodied sports car design by Frank Kurtis.
The new "Jet" was stylish and elegant with a Cadillac V-8, wild colors and exotic interiors.
Muntz lost money on each car, "But would make it up on volume" He said. That didn't happen and after 394 cars the factory closed.
There are 49 of those known to exist today. This is car #2, it was featured regularly with Muntz in publicity shots. It was rescued by it's current owner from a Chicago junk yard and restored.
I was told that this was once a brewery but is now used for a variety of things including cider making.
Old Hemp Factory, used to work on water power. It used to make ropes and textile. Before the Second World War Edessa was called "Manchester of the east" because of it's textile industry. The Germans destroyed most of the industry in the war. After the war water power was not important anymore and the industry languished.
Deze hennepfabriek werkte op waterkracht en fabriceerde textiel en touw. Voor de Tweede Wereldoorlog werd Edessa wel het "Manchester van het oosten" genoemd, vanwege deze industrie (in Nederlandse termen wellicht het Twente van Griekenland). Tijdens de Duitse bezetting werd een flink deel van de stad vernietigd, inclusief de fabrieken. Na de Tweede Wereldoorlog nam de betekenis van waterkracht af en de industrie kwijnde weg. De fabriekshal op de foto is deels een café restaurant geworden, in het grootste deel van de fabriekshal staan de oude machines nog (weer?) opgesteld. Het heeft een museale functie en is vrij te bezoeken. Ik vond het een absolute aanrader, maar dat kan je ook wel zien aan de hoeveelheid gemaakte foto's!

Nabisco Factory (closed) in Niagara Falls, New York. It was the original home of Shredded Wheat, the start of cold breakfast cereal. Unfortunately, this thriving business was a victim of the end of the industrial era and many Niagara Falls residents became unemployed when it closed. Probably one of the biggest contributions to the rise and fall of the city.
Aerial view Nestlé factory, Abbotsford, NSW, 1940. Abbotsford House can be seen in the centre of the picture. Nestlé, then known as the Anglo-Swiss Condensed Milk Company, purchased Abbotsford House and its grounds in 1917 to build the 'largest chocolate factory in the Southern Hemisphere'. Abbotsford House was retained for use as offices, while the factory was constructed on three sides of the house.
