Every week the Town Crier blog will look back at Seattle\u2019s near-forgotten <\/span><\/i>Town Crier<\/span> magazine to see what was happening then and talk about what\u2019s happening now. One of the largest sections of the original Town Crier was \u201cWhat People Are Doing,\u201d highlighting things like, \u201cNeil and Fox Beauty Parlor is offering permanent and Marcel waving\u201d and, \u201cMrs. Lawrence Bogle was hostess at a luncheon on Wednesday at the Golf Club.\u201d In this series we\u2019re revisiting the old column and tying it to our community\u2019s current happenings, asking: \u201cwhat <\/span><\/i>are <\/span>people doing?\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Today\u2019s entry\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIn August time,\u201d the Frederick & Nelson ad reads in the August 16 issue of the <\/span>Town Crier<\/span><\/i>, \u201cthe highways, trails and placid waters of the Puget Sound region provide matchless settings for the Kodak enthusiast.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

These days most people are taking to the highways, trails and placid waters with their smart phones rather than with Kodak cameras. <\/span>Kodak was a giant in the photo industry<\/span><\/a>. Then they went bankrupt. What happened? <\/span>This<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Talking about giants that are now history: <\/span>Frederick & Nelson<\/span><\/a>. Founded in 1891 as a furniture store, it expanded to sell all sorts of wares. The 1919 ad continued, \u201cFrederick & Nelson provides the Kodaks, the films and a competent finishing service – to say nothing of the bonbons, cushions, cool wearables and other aids to a thoroughly enjoyable vacation.\u201d The store continued to expand in the area, up to 10 stores in two states. The company went out of business in 1992. <\/span><\/p>\n

Enjoy the rest of summer, friends. Take some photos. Eat some bonbons. Enjoy our region\u2019s matchless settings.<\/span>
