My new neighbor was remodeling a house that my great grandfather built. Found this Majestic Theatre 1928 ticket stub with a retail advertisement.

Another mystery man posing in front of a downtown shop. You can see Union Bank in the background which would make this a corner of Main Street looking back west. No date on the photo, but I would put this c1910.

Still trying to confirm location. I'll hold on clarifying again until we have a consensus.

From member Mark Olson-
I’d like to present this page with my 2x great grandfather’s s car company, the Lewis Spring and Axel company car the Hollier Eight. My late grandfather Mark Hollier Olson tracked down this car in the early 80’s and spent a decade restoring it to complete original condition. I’m very proud of my family linage and this pristine beautiful Hollier eight touring car from 1915. Please enjoy.

Thanks for sharing, Mark Olson!

Edit- This post was from the original creator of this page, and she is in hospice. We are forever grateful for her starting this page and leading the contributions for a long time. Our prayers are with her through this difficult time. I also have some administrative access to this page, and have been contributing for several years. I’ve been trying to share more of my collection and other historic content since Karen let me know in January that she would no longer be contributing. She still has access to the page. I’ll ask to keep any direct communication through messenger be limited to reduce her stress. I’ll continue to keep the page alive to the extent I’m able to with the access that I have. Ryan

Ever since I announced I am on hospice and will no longer be participating in this page I have received countless requests and questions. Please leave me alone.

Main St. Jackson, MI 1907
Anyone able to identify where this may have been based on the reflection of buildings in the window and that this appears to be a shoe store? Better yet, does anyone recognize this young man from their family photos?
