Sew and Save

Posted by KAP - 04/19/2013 - 7:30pm -

One of my great uncle's F.W. Woolworth displays from the 1930's, probably in Findlay Ohio. He and my great aunt would work into the night building these displays and then take pictures of the final product. This one shows the benefits of sewing it yourself. He even covered the pole in aluminum foil. View full size. [This appears to be 1952, the year National Sew and Save Week was held Feb. 23 to March 1; that's also consistent with the early-50s fashion styles in the illustrations. -tterrace] Lendzion's of HamtramckThanks to tterrace for the correction on the date. If this was the 50's, then it was the Lendzion's 5 and 10 store that he managed in Hamtramck Michigan. (Detroit). (ShorpyBlog, Member Gallery)

Early picture of the Ambassador Bridge that links Detroit Michigan and Windsor Ontario. Bridge was built in 1929 and this looks like it was taken not too much longer after that. Note on the right side the sidewalk and people walking on it, this was closed a long time ago as it was not part of the bridge's charter (at least what I have read). From my negatives collection. View full size. Made the walkI walked across this bridge in the late 60's with my Boy Scout troop. Not sure if there was an International scouts day, or something like that. We made the walk and met up with a troop from Windsor. (ShorpyBlog, Member Gallery)

Circa mid-1930s in then rural Commerce Township, Michigan. This is a photo of my uncle and father probably taken at the summer rental house on Commerce Lake that they stayed at for a couple summers before they moved here permanently from Detroit. Not too long before, the Depression had them living in a tent for the summer in northern Michigan. They eventually ended up buying land and building their own houses.

C&O 310, class L2a 4-6-4 Hudson type on ready track at Cincinnati Union Terminal service area, September 1950. Built by Baldwin in 1948, the L2a's were the world's largest Hudson types, dwarfing those of the New York Central and weighing in slightly heavier than those of AT&SF. They featured Franklin type B rotary cam poppet valves and 78" drivers. All were assigned to mainline passenger work on C&O's flatter western main lines, working between Cincinnati/Detroit and Hinton, WV. E-8 diesels bumped the Hudsons from passenger service in 1952 and all were out of service the following year. All were scrapped by 1955. View full size. (ShorpyBlog, Member Gallery)
