Pioneer Clothing project
Serene Setting
Downtown Oregon about 1937
    Clarice Christensen took this picture from upstairs in the old Gilbert Garage looking south
on N. Main St.  She said it was about 1937.
    The hitching park is directly below.  The Standard Service Station Pontiac Sales and the gasoline pumps on the curb in front of Fincher's garage tell you a little more of our village then. cross the street where the Model T Coup is setting, the awning on Nealie DeJean's dress and millinery shop is just visible.
    This picture gives you a good view of our Main St. in 1937 and also the "fancy"cars we were driving.    Excerpted from A Walk Back in History: Did You Know? by Florice Paulson
