VJ Repeat just because I really like this shot of Joe Johns.


Zenith Rado - 1940


I still have this radio - Zenith Super-8 from 1939 and it's in perfect working order. Years ago my father rewired it for me. One time I was listening to this radio when a friend of mine stopped over. I showed him the radio and he asked where is the FM button - I said this was built before FM - there isn't one - he just couldn't believe it.

Berkebile-Gabriel - Granite and Marble - 61 Iron Street

Lower Works


This is how most people remember the mills in Johnstown - taken from Brownstown Hill looking down to McConaughy Street with all the houses and across the river to Iron Street and Bethlehem Steel. This was taken before Roosevelt Blvd was built in the 1920's. 
Stone Bridge on far right. Second bridge was also for trains and third is where you can walk or ride across to Iron Street.

NCR


The Oakland Motor Car Dealer in Johnstown. The car company was a division of General Motors after buying Oakland in 1909. The company continued to produce mid-priced vehicles until 1931 when it was absorbed into Pontiac. Thought I spotted someone standing in the window.....
