A few CVRR pictures and some other related pictures....

On the umbrella, I see "For ? Tailoring" "Get the Habit. Go to ?"

I'd say that the umbrella had "For International Tailoring" on the one panel,
and the other panel is too obscure to read...

Does that mean Hong Kong Tailors have been in business longer
than we've suspected???

"For International Tailoring" is what I thought I was seeing - the Go to..........I can't make that out.

155 miles to Niagara Falls from Hick's Run.....

Company houses on the right? Rather large if they are.
What is the building on the left?

That might depend on how many occupants they house..

Pavilion for the bad - you can see a glint of a brass instrument.

Meanwhile, over in Hick's Run.......

..

From this photo, Hick's Run seems like it would have been a community in which folks made good friends quickly and held onto them for a lifetime.

And I wonder if such a rural community like that often had problems with bear roaming into it.
(P.S. In our suburban community, here, in NJ, reports on TV and in the newspaper have us all on alert for several Black Bear which have been sighted near, in , and around homes (on driveways,) and around restaurants, and on their way into a large shopping mall, meandering and exploring along its highway access points. So needless to say, you can just imagine what I go equipped with as I take my early morning walks, which at times take me close to the nearby river and woods. )
Life is fun.

I have no doubt that bear were plentiful that far North in PA; we have them in Franklin Co. and posed only a problem were they not induced to on a platter on the table.

I suspect that other large game were also available such as elk at that time of the century.

Good pointollas.

Seems idyllic. And lonely. Isolated.

Couple of houses and cars in the background, and the river out front.

But sometimes one does just want to get away from it all, sit out on the dock, wet a line or two, read a book, and take a nap w/o being interrupted by anyone.

I wear those little yellow coil-thingies, too, on wrists and ankles...
