DOUG GONNER (LONGTIME MAQUOKETA FIREMAN) BROUGHT IN TODAY THIS
POST CARD.    THE 3-STORY BUILDING AT FAR RIGHT WAS SUE'S HALLMARK
BUILDING LOST IN THE BIG FIRE 9 YEARS AGO.   I THINK THE BUILDING BEHIND THE BIG POWER LINE POLE WITH FOUR CROSSBARS WAS LANE FURNITURE FOR A LONG TIME.
THE PASTIME THEATRE WAS NOT THERE YET.    LOOKS LIKE THE BUILDINGS ON FIRE LATER BECAME NEW BUILDINGS WHERE IN THE 50'S AND 60'S, SPALDING'S FOOTWARE AND SAGER'S SHOE STORE AND BILL MOLER'S WERE LOCATED.     NICE FIRE WAGON IN LOWER RIGHT CORNER.    IF I AM WRONG ON ALL THIS, EMAIL ME AT kmaq@kmaq.com
