Junk from the past - August 13, 2012


Over a century ago somebody worked hard and long with chickens to win, earn this 3 handled silver cup.
                            They probably found this manual very useful.
                This is serious copyright protection from a century ago.

There was a time when phone numbers only had 4 digits and you could buy Quality Meat on Ogden Avenue.

There once was a time when drinking and smoking went together very well. This Downers Grove product served as a coaster for the drink and ashtray for the cigarette.
The Frank Curran Company made this product. I think a museum could be filled with products of the Frank Curran Company. I have many.

                                 Back in 1961 a rifle or shot gun was used in hunting.

The Downers Grove Motel

The Downers Grove Motel according to the information on the back of this card was 2 miles west of Rt. 83 on Ogden avenue. Where exactly it stood I don't know. If you have any information about what is standing in it's place now, please comment.
