Great Grandma's Dress Shop
Visible to left of brick building (then Forreston Power Company,
now offices of Moring Disposal, corner of Main and Chestnut).
Notice the box car on the tracks to the right of the brick building.
Recall Jennie's cooper shop sales jingle:
"And you'll find him down next to the rails."

Johnson House Green/White
Harlan Greenberg writes: "Look for the Green House behind the exhaust pipe on the track-excavator. East side of House was white. West Green. Construction picture was taken in 1978 when we built the new bank."
