Advertising drugstore truck and local memories from Elyria era
A 1920s delivery truck advertising Phillip's Rexall drugstore with a large camera image is linked to Elyria memories. The piece recalls Jim Armitage and his sign company, civic leadership, the Broad Street storefronts, and a 70th wedding anniversary of Ralph and Murbach families. Extra reminiscences cover Garford Auto era dining and early road travel.
