Thomas  Holliday & Co. Hardware-1873.jpg (800865 bytes)

   In 1873, when the photograph above was taken, cameras were not able to photograph the interiors of businesses like the store above until electric lights came into existence. Instead they had to move their products outside and in their windows to be photographed properly. This is what you see in the Thomas Holliday & Co. Hardware business above. Located on the n.e.corner of 5th and Central, they also made hobby horses and children's carriages.

   This card shows a building on the corner of Gilbert & Lincoln Ave. Why one of the windows is covered over, I do not know. If I was to guess I would say that the advertiser, Ford's Souvenir Post Card Shop, saw something in the window they did not like. Possibly a competitor?
