THURSDAY DAILY

PURE SALON AND SPA IS LOCATED ON THE CORNER OF MAIN AND PLATT, DOWNTOWN.     YEARS AGO, IT WAS THE "BIG FOUR" BARBER SHOP.      ACCORDING TO MAX MOELLER IN ARIZONA (A MAQUOKETA NATIVE NOW IN HIS 90'S)....THE OWNER WAS OLIN FARMER AND HE IS ONE OF THE FOUR ABOVE.    HE DOES NOT KNOW WHO THE OTHER THREE ARE.   
OLIN'S DAUGHTER WAS VIVIAN (MRS. JIM) BLAYNEE) AND BOTH ARE NO LONGER LIVING, BUT BEFORE THEIR DEATH, THEY GAVE THE BUILDING
TO THE MAQUOKETA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.   THE CHAMBER USED IT FOR YEARS FOR THE CHAMBER OFFICE AND THEN SOLD IT AND MOVED ACROSS THE STREET INTO THE MAE BUILDING.    THE PURE BUILDING IS NOW GOING THROUGH EXTENSIVE REMODELING.    MORE TO TELL YOU ABOUT IT TOMORROW, WITH A COUPLE INTERESTING PHOTOS.
