The appearance of South Minnesota Avenue has changed considerably since this photograph, which looks to the north from a location between Nassau and Grace Streets, was taken in 1968 in St. Peter, Minnesota.
Ritt's Electric Center, the Skelly Service Station, and the State Theatre are among the businesses that have disappeared since this 1968 photograph was taken. The view looks to the south along South Minnesota Avenue in St. Peter, Minnesota, from a location between West Nassau and West Grace Streets.
Image shows the south side of Main Street in New Prague. Businesses identified are: the Prague Theatre, Jeff's Clothing, Remes Drug, and Anthony's Department Store.
Standard Salt and Cement Company was located in Duluth's Canal Park at 241-243 South Lake Avenue. The company offered building materials and supplies. At the time this photograph was taken John C. Johnson was the company president, Willard B. Matter was the vice president, and Arthur Roberts was secretary.
