THIS LISTING ........ this really belongs in the Marion Museum ...... a photo of the young lads leaving for Camp Taylor in 1918
. the photograph is interesting .... note on the far left is a pair of boot blacks with recruitment or movie posters on the wall of the old First National Bank ..... then the finest example of any architecture in the county was the glass block ...... all marble inside and bronze statues ...... like all of the buildings in the background and also across the street were all torn down to make parking lots ...... i remember the show shine stand in the late 1950's ...... and the glass block as well ....... the rest was Hobert Hopkins Music store by the 1950 era .... and the Army Navy store on the corner ....... across was the House of Stone , Rosemary Bakery , Zimmerman's Queen City ...... all gone now ....... look at the pictures and enjoy them ....... they are half a block from the streetcar line and 2 blocks from the railroad ....... the car shown is so very cool too

i got this many years ago at an estate auction in Marion ...... time to clean a little out ..... lol I am in Fairmount , some 10 miles south of Marion ....... if you want to , come and pick it up ...... or perhaps i can get to you somewhere in Marion ...... oh , almost forgot ..... photo by Chas. Demunbrun , Marion studio
