When Mr. Swartzlander sold his shop to Russell Kauffman in 1940, the Kauffman family moved into the house located at 219 E. Market Street. They later moved into the house connected with the shop at that time, located at 207 W. Market Street. This shop was removed, and the house just west of it was moved to 218 W. Walnut Street to make room for the new Kauffman's Meat Market and Grocery store, which is now Kauffman's TV. The man exiting the store is none other than Elmer Ellsworth Fall. He bought a head of cabbage on most of his visits.

The caption handwritten on the back of this photo reads: "A. E. Soles Barber Shop in Beavertown, Pa. Picture taken March 30th, 1915." Whether it was then located at the present site of the barber shop cannot be ascertained with any certainty. It might have been elsewhere in town. In any event, it is a very well appointed parlor and appears to be of great refinement. It's electric was powered by the Beavertown Electric Co.

Beavertown Borough was only a little over 4 months old at that time!

Shown here is a photo of some members of the Henderson No. 1 Fire Company in Lewistown on their Kearns Eureka Fire Truck built in Beavertown on or before 1913. The Pennsylvania license plate is from 1913. We have another photo of this same truck in the 1920s when it belonged to the Brooklyn Fire Company, also of Lewistown. Apparently it was sold, or the fire company merely changed its name.
