1915 postmarked postcard view of businesses along the east side of the courthouse square in Frankfort, Indiana. Although postmarked in 1915, this postcard was probably produced several years earlier. The photographer who took the photograph was standing near the southwest corner at the intersection of Jackson and Clinton Streets.
The flag in this scene was flying on the southeast corner at the intersection of Washington and Jackson Streets. The Sanborn™ fire insurance map set for Frankfort shows a dry goods and grocery business on that corner. The 1912 map set shows a dry goods business. At the center of this view, a jeweler's trade sign (an oversized pocket watch) advertised a jewelry shop. The 1906 map set shows a jewelry and millinery shop at that location (9 North Jackson Street). By the time the 1912 map set was being prepared, the millinery business was still at that same address, but the jewelry business was next door (7 North Jackson Street). The yellow sign atop that same building advertised the REXALL DRUG STORE. Both map sets show a drugstore at 5 North Jackson Street. The sign hanging in front of the nearest building included the words WHOLESALE and RETAIL and possibly WYSS & CO. Both map sets show a grocery business at this location (1 North Jackson Street). The sign mounted on the third floor of that building identified the location of the I. O. O. F. (Independent Order of Odd Fellows) Hall at 1-3 North Jackson Street.

c1910 postcard view of several men and a (Dalmation?) dog posing for the photographer in Crawfordsville, Indiana. The sign painted on the window advertised RANSDELL & ROGERS BARBER SHOP. Ransdell and Rogers were probably among the group along with some patrons, but none were identified on this postcard.
Next door, a sign leaning against the façade advertised J. B. WILHITE and STICKNEY’S NEW TARIFF CIGAR. The placards in the display window advertised GENERAL STARK and LA VERSO cigars.
A 1902 business directory¹ didn’t list Ransdell or Rogers as barbers or J. B. Wilhite as a businessman in Crawfordsville. However, the 1907 and 1913 Sanborn™ fire insurance map sets show the barbershop and cigar shop south of Main Street in separate buildings on the east side of Green Street (104 and 106 South Green Street). The photographer was standing in the street and facing east when the photograph was taken.

1908 postcard view of the Armstrong & Conner Blacksmith shop in Ridgeville, Indiana. The gentlemen in the view aren't identified, but one of them is probably Robert Conner who is identified in the 1900 census as a blacksmith. There is no Armstrong identified as a blacksmith in the Ridgeville census data for that period. The guy on the right is holding a handsaw.
There are advertisements on the doors for Sloan's Liniment, Sure Shot Gall Cure, and Kitchel's Liniment (cures rheumatism). There are also sale bills from October 1908 posted on the doors. One public sale bill has the name of George F. Orcutt at the bottom. He was an implements dealer in Ridgeville.
Below that sale bill is an announcement for F. S. Caldwell who was to speak at Ridgeville. Caldwell was the principal and then superintendent at Winchester. Later, he became an appellate judge.

1906 postmarked postcard view of boaters on the lake at Glen Miller Park in Richmond, Indiana. The lake was created at the north edge of the park in the late 19th century. In this scene, several parties were in small boats on the water. The women were wearing hats and one woman had a parasol. Several park visitors were standing along the lakeshore and a horse-drawn carriage had stopped along the road above the lake.
This postcard was sent by Mamie to her cousins in nearby Lynn, Indiana. The postcard was addressed to Mrs. Elbert Sherman Lott, Rural Route #33.

We had a few days before the students arrived, and I had a choice of what I might like to see. From the first trip I really wanted to go back to see the Basilica Santa Maria degli Angeli. It was so impressive the first time. I wanted to determine if my impressions would hold up. They did.
My recollection is that this fire was problematic in several ways. Ladder 26 broke down (as shown), and the Snorkel was stuck in the muddy yard and had to be pulled out with a tow truck.

Flying right over my house this morning on the way to cover a Florida college football game. I love this shot! The blimp navigating the skies over the forest with the beautiful blue sky and those delicate, gorgeous clouds in the background makes the whole scene seem somewhat surreal.
The miracle of flight!
(View at Original Size and look closely...you can still make out the mooring lines dangling down from the nose of the ship.)

Further up the street to the north, on the southwest corner of the intersection with Charles Street, is a sign for Gumbiner Brothers. According to a 1914-15 directory, they were in the Jones Block and sold clothing, hats and furnishing goods.
On the other side of the street are signs for a drug store at the northeast corner of Walnut and Howard Streets, the Union Clothing Company and Colorcraft Wallpaper and Paints.
