I know, this isn't Cardin, but Sandy Caswell
sent it, and it is too good not to put up.
It is a little blurry at this size, but it
shows the way they lived.
It was taken in the '30s or '40s.
I know the
laundry!!!!
(says Ed Shuck)
When I was a kid. Grandma did her washing here. I do not
recall the
names of the owners. The couple that ran it were the
grandparents of
twin boys who finished school about '57 or '58. The hot
water tank in
the back would crank up the heat to just about boiling.
Just to the
left of the boiler was the back door. Behind was a big
parking lot
shared by 1 or 2 other shops.
To identify the
location:
The front door is to the back of the photographer. The door
opens onto
the east side of Main Street, three doors north of 4th
street.
(Those twin boys are probably Millards, who graduated in '57.)
