Milford's Main Street

LIKE MOST old buildings along Main Street. Evans Fabric and Variety Store has a history of its own. If only walls could talk, what interesting stories they could tell. Max and Marlene Evans recently found an old advertising sheet in their store. Its vintage is the late SB’s or early 4B’b. It is broadsheet, four pages and is printed in two colors. Something that was almost unheard of in that day and age. It announced the grand opening of Opseth Federated Store.

Barneses who helped us by giving us what information they could about tiie store. It seems in earlier days it was a bakery, owned and operated by the Theodore Cledars. They

baked goods and featured a restaurant too. In the winter they made homemade taffy. The couple built up quite a reputation for serving good foods and baked goods. Both Mr. and Mrs. Barnes remember Opseth and the fact he did not stay in Milford for very long. Both think he sold out to Mr. and Mrs. Dewese. Trying to remember his first name, neither could, recalling he was always called Mr. Opseth. He came here from Chicago and never did move his family to the area.

Accident results in *2,000 in damages A two-vehicle accident at the intersection of CR 530E and Pickwick Road in Syracuse, resulted in 82,000 damage to two Syracuse driver’s autos. Bryan E, Napier, 18, r 2 Syracuse, was driving east on Pickwick Road, when he started to turn right onto CR 530E. Napier then decided to turn back left in a stimulated U turn, causing him to strike a car driven by Robert W. Knudsen, Jr., 22, 167 North Shore Drive, Syracuse, who was following behind. Damage was set at 8800 to the Napier car and 81,200 to the vehicle operated by Knudsen. "Good order is the foundation of all good things." Edmund Burke
