The editor knows very little about this photo to share with the readers, but it must have been taken about 1908. Notice there is no steering wheel. It is steered by a rod which is side mounted. The lanterns are most likely powered by coal oil. The make is also uncertain, but the Eureka was being made by the Kearns family right here in Beavertown at that time.

(What else did “Johnny P.” do before and after this photo? Answer next month.)

Answer to Last Month

As of today, Beavertown has 34 business establishments. The largest five are Conestoga, Tom’s, Stone Construction, Inter Manufacturing, and a three-way tie for 5th largest, Super Service Garage, First National Trust Bank, and Grater Industries.

There are 27 that have 7 or less persons working at their operations.

Not too bad for a town of 877.
