Ferguson Packing Company - Cambria City

This should look familiar to all of you. This is Cambria City at its best. The old Ferguson Meat Packing building that later became Morris Paper Company and is now the immigrant museum. As you can see alot of it is still standing. All I can say is look how well kept - the whole area around the railroad tracks is - it doesn't look like that now because of all the Japanese Knotwood. For extra credit - Blackie Trotz and his family lived in the house where the people are standing in front in the 1950's.

Not sure what Japanese Knotwood is. One of the first things I noticed was the cleanliness around the tracks.

Len - Knotwood is the stuff we used to call bamboo growing up.
