The boys in the neighborhood check out the action as a Milwaukee Road crew uncouples a covered hopper of sugar at Peerless Confectionery. That was 30 years ago so the boys in 2015 would be 40 or so now in terms of age.
Trains drew a lot of attention from passersby.

Mullens, WV (Wyoming County)
Mullens is located in eastern Wyoming County in southern West Virginia near the Wyoming-Raleigh county line. The city, which occupies a niche in the dissected Allegheny Plateau, is basically linear in shape, the corporate limits occupying an area approximately three miles in length and averaging one-half mile in width. The central business district is located near the confluence of the Guyandotte River and Slab Fork Creek.
The period of significance of the proposed district ranges from 1912, when the Virginian Railroad completed construction of its main line to the town, to around 1942, when the regional coal mining technology began to change radically by utilizing mining machinery to replace hand labor.
The site of the city of Mullens was first settled by Andrew J. Mullins in 1894 when he purchased 69 acres of land around the confluence of Slab Fork and Guyandotte River. Mullins Cleared the land and built a cabin near the present intersection of First Street and Moran Avenue and established a small saw mill one-half mile up Slab Fork. Two years later Mullins and neighbors built a one-room school, post office, store and boarding house. The existence of vast timber and coal resources had been reported by Jed Hotchkiss in 1872 and by 1903 logging operations were becoming established at Amigo and Maben, three-to-four miles distance from the Mullins farm. The logging operation attracted people to the area, and by 1903 it was estimated that 250 people lived in the immediate vicinity.
The first coal mine in Wyoming County began operating in 1908 on the outskirts of the proposed historic district. (1)

Peerless Potato Chips, which was founded in Gary in 1928 right before the Great Depression, recently went out of business. It struggled after Central Grocers, its main distributor, filed for bankruptcy. Its owner also is being treated for terminal lung cancer, and he couldn't find a buyer.
"After 89 years in business we have been forced to close our doors," owner John Hogg said. "We can no longer pay our suppliers so can no longer produce. The Central Grocer's bankruptcy was the straw that broke the camel's back."

"There hasn’t been a closing on any sale," said Patrick Kepchar, an accountant who represents Peerless in the sale of its assets, as well as the potential buyer. "We do, however, have a buyer that we are going through the process with currently, and it looks promising, but again, nothing has been finalized just yet."

This was from the old Peerless Hatchery on Grand Ave. In Spencer Iowa. I grew up there and remember buying chicks there as a kid. My dad also had a business in Spencer for years. Go Tigers!!!
The final lesson of week 8 in "Mermaid Circus" involved learning a little figure drawing along with getting aquainted with a new type of watercolor medium (for me at least), Peerless. The are the original brand developed in the late 1800's for use in tinting black and white photos. they come in a concentrated dye on a sheet of paper and are super portable and richly beautiful. The "Tsunami Sisters" are characters created by Jane Davenport for the lesson, and I did my best to copy while still adding my own flair. The watercolor tsunami was my own design, as a place to play some more with the new colors and also to write the story of the sisters to create a double page spread.

Gone but not forgotten.
It was ten years ago this year that Peerless Confection closed its doors. It hung on stubbornly as the last rail served customer on the former Milwaukee Road Chicago & Evanston (C&E) Line north of Clybourn decades after Reed Candy and Continental Baking closed up by 1984 on the C&E North Line.
Served by three railroads-the Milwaukee Road, Soo/CP, and for just a few months-Chicago Terminal.
Glad I got this picture as a mouse later found it in my home office and enjoyed the candy. I had to throw out what was left.
A repainted ghost sign for the Peerless Candy Company, 324 Salem Avenue, Roanoke, Virginia. The company is no longer in business and their former building has been converted into lofts. The Peerless Candy Company was established in 1916, and served as a wholesale candy factory and distributor through the early 1950s.
A woolen mill in Georgia. It ain't natural I tell ya. Well, if it is any consolation, although I couldn't throw a baseball into Chattanooga Tennessee from here, it would roll the couple extra feet it would take to make the border (being more a reflection on my throwing ability than the couple hundred foot distance.)

Clearly, Peerless was once a thriving town. It has several grain elevators. A big restaurant. Churches. A good size school. The problem is that when I was there most of those things seemed empty--abandoned, even. The church was overgrown. The school was clearly empty at a time when school should still have been in session. One of the elevators is falling down (though the others seem used). The big restaurant was listed for sale and seemed totally devoid of life. And there were far more abandoned homes than ones that are lived in. Peerless was very very quiet. I had to wonder what happened here, that so many people left? This place used to have plenty of amenities. But when I was there the only activity I saw was a tumbleweed blowing across main street.
"Peerless was originally a development of the Great Northern Railroad. It appears that Peerless once went by the name of Tande or Battleson, but because of the popularity of a local beer the name was changed to Peerless...Dutch Henry's Bar...is a namesake of an outlaw who roamed these parts in the late 1800s. A display of photos on the walls tells quite a bit about the history of the surrounding area. The original town, settled in 1914, was a few miles away. Like many other places in northeast Montana, the laying of the railroad bed required the town to be moved to the railroad." -travelmt.com
