Busy day with visits from several friends: Janet Day, Frank Hummert, locksmith J.C. Peters, Eric & Joanne . . . TheBurg for December has arrived; your copy awaits. We thank them for the nice recommendation they made to holiday shoppers about us . . . I am a bit under the weather and hope the situation improves quickly. I can ill afford to be sick at this time of year . . . Shoppers crowded our downtown streets in the mid-'30s as can be seen in this old photo from the Dauphin County Historical Society website. Woolworth's, Bowman's and Pomeroy's are on the left. It was not unusual even in the early '60s to be forced into the street when battling the holiday crowds. And the animated windows at Pomeroy's was a major attraction. You can see more historical photos weekly. Go to http://www.dauphincountyhistory.org/ and scroll down to the bottom of the page . . .
