Pictures of the Past #5

G.D. Fronabarger left the Missourian boxes and boxes of negatives. What he didn't leave were IDs for them. Pictures of the Past features some of Frony's images we've partially identified. We're hoping you can help fill in the blanks. Contact librarian Sharon Sanders at ssanders@semissourian.com, if you recognize a place or a face. Mystery Galleries may still be viewed on our History Page, http://www.semissourian.com/history/

Jan. 27, 1951 Southeast Missourian. This structure on Independence near the [West End] Boulevard was built by V.W. Dyer for occupancy by the Union Biscuit Co. It was one of the buildings erected in Cape Girardeau during the past year. (G.D. Fronabarger/Southeast Missourian archive) The sign on this unidentified warehouse advertises "Princess Crackers, please!" Jacki Glastetter queried: "Could the "Princess Crackers" warehouse picture be the building that is located next to Campas Auto on the corner of West End Boulevard and Independence? It may be a detail shop now. This immediately popped into my head when I saw the pic."

This huge tank, weighing 37,000 pounds and measuring 21 feet long by 9 feet in diameter, was moved to the Oz Ark-Gas & Supply Co., 1533 Independence, in December 1962. It caused quite a problem in loading from a rail car to a low-boy truck into unloading on the company property. A derrick was required to move it into place, and the weight and size made a difficult task. The tank was to hold 550,000 cubic feet of liquid oxygen.
