Sawmill on Allen's Pond circa 1906

Photo and comment from Rene Elliott

We seem to have few images from western Town of Morris, this is another xeroxed bill head, paired up with the only known image from Allen's sawmill at the outlet of Allen's Pond, upper Dimmock Hollow.

I have always wondered if that Legion hall sign was a Coca Cola sign that once hung in front of Gage's? The wadded up flag at right does not show the star field (48 vs 50), the car headlight (no license plate, to make it harder) I would guess c. 1948.

I thought that was part of the awning not a flag.

The Shell gas station must have been new at this time, I would guess this is 1937 -1941 just from the vehicles/license plates. Note the SOCONY/Texaco pump still in front of Gage's.

c. 1922 "Suburban" model Hatfield, like an early mini van with removable passenger seats, with roll down canvas sides for bad weather.
