The demon drink will cause you to see pigs fly and baby elephants in the arboretum....

Gimbels Department Store Piano Parlor Showroom Interior Real Photo RPPC postcard

How many people today realize their ancestors who lived a hundred years or so ago spent so much time creating their own music around the family piano in the front room. Popular songs during the week & early in the weekend, Sunday evening hymn night!

The Do-It-Yourself Entertainers.

Gimbel Bros along with many other department stores and specialist music shops saw big business in home entertainment.

Elkhart Indiana "World leader in the Mobile Home (RV) and Musical Instrument Industry" states the caption on reverse. "A good place to live and work". 

Sadly, the 2008 recession was not kind to Elkhart. Business cutbacks, job & income losses.
Happier times in the 1950s, captured in this view: a sunny day and an FW Woolworth store to explore.
