...wow..what a nice old building that orange, green & yellow 'new englander' is & right on the water too....those were the days....do you remember??....wouldn't it be nice if some store somewhere actually sold this old postcard photo all framed and ready to hang on the wall....seems like the old postcards had better color than today's postcards.....back then....postcards were more postcardy, or something!
Alton must have suffered a big loss when that McGrath's building was lost to a fire. Got to love an old hardware store.......nails by the 1/4lb.....two washers....one drill bit....and one crotchedy old nut behind the counter somewhere.....
That Reubin's Hardware is a terrific Alton store....by the way....
