1913: CHAMBERSBURG ON A SUMMER AUGUST DAY IN 1913

Photoshop gives me the ability to remove all those little black "flecks" which we know of as "noise" in documents from the past. It also gives me the ability to bring the text up to its original deep black splendor. This 99 year old listing of community news includes names with which I am familiar today, including Whiteley and Braker, and of course, Israel Kohn who was obviously a partner in the late great Urken and Kohn's Department store which once occupied that familiar "flatiron" building on South Clinton Avenue in the Burg. Numerous old timers who visit this page will probably find names with which they are familiar.
