1939 Business News

A couple of items caught my attention while cataloging all of the digital pictures I have of the microfilm of old newspapers for Fowlerville.  They are not really related except for the fact they were two businesses in the downtown area in the late 1930s.  Both items were found in The Fowlerville Review, when it was owned by the Rudnickis.
