Here's a few pictures of Ambridge, Pa, taken around 1941. Lost relatives in my family (a great uncle or two and a number of cousins), a whole passel of Wozny's in another town besides Houtzdale and Jeannette!
Downtown Ambridge (and I'm almost 100% certain it is by the notes on the envelope containing the negatives) and dig the Duquesne Beer sign in the upper right. The champaigne of bottled beers (as big a favorite in Cleveland as it was in Pa.). My grandfather's favorite beer and sponsor of his favorite show (Sunday Polka Hour):
Next we have a
couple of pictures of the mills. Unfortunately, not clear enough or close
enough to positively ID the names of the companies
involved...
The above picture you can
make out Oscar Meyer/Refrigerator. Still making weenies after all these
years (by the carload yet!)
A closeup...
