CELEBRATING AND REMEMBERING FREELAND
BUSINESSES This page is an attempt to list businesses that are operating now or that have operated in living memory. An earlier version of this page began as my brother and I were sitting up late one night during a visit to Freeland, and we decided to see how many businesses we could remember from the 1950s-1970s. Some time later, that original list was revised with information from Charlie Stumpf, Charlie Reczkowski and various Freelanders and e-mail correspondents, and I extended the scope back to the 1940s, as well as beginning to add some newer businesses and even current ones to the list. Revisions to these lists are ongoing. Additions and corrections would be very welcome; please send e-mail. As I get more information about these various
businesses and organizations I'm adding it to my project
files. It would be helpful, for example, to know when these
various businesses began, who the proprietors were, when the businesses
folded if they're no longer in operation, or who they were taken over by if
they passed to other owners. I'm in the process of revamping this page a
bit to include more of that information when I have it. I've put the entries in alphabetical order within each category.
If I couldn't remember a name or location, I've left
a blank line to be filled in later (hopefully). This information
is only as reliable as my memory and those of my correspondents. If
you see something you think or know is incorrect, please send me that
information and I'll post it on this page. If you've sent me information
and it hasn't been added to this page yet, please don't hesitate to send
a simple reminder. You don't have to resend the information, but just a reminder
will help me to fish your e-mail out of my files and get the information
onto the web. For this page at present I'm not including entire narratives,
just some basic information about who, what, where and when, but I'd be grateful
for ANY information about these businesses that you can share. Also, if anybody reading this has any pre-1970 phone
books, directories, yearbooks or other publications containing business
listings from Freeland, I'd appreciate hearing about them. Thanks.
Enjoy the lists! Note: This is a long page, and so there are "TOP OF
PAGE" links here and there. |
