Milford's Main Street

SINCE THE fire in the old C.S. Myers Ford Building on Catherine Street last week many people have been talking about the car agency which operated from there for a number of years. Mrs. Cletus (Priscilla) Myers remembers the building was built in 1908 and housed the Royal Telephone Company in the upper level with a dress shop in the lower level. For sometime it also housed the public library. Elmer Hartter. who worked in the building for 46 years, remembers that at one time Phend and Brown, Inc., had offices in one of the spaces upstairs. At one time it is also believed there were apartments in the building The second story in the building, located over the east section of the original front, was used by Myers for storage purposes and parts. In 1919 Merrill CHatton bought the building to open a Ford dealership and hired Cletus S. Myers as a salesman Myers later, in 1939, purchased the building Hartter was hired in 1930 and remembers a 40x60 foot addition being built to the south end of the main building in the 19505. This addition was used for storage space for new and used cars. (This is the section which burned to the ground Thursday evening ) The third section was added on in the 1960 s and was used as a

Q. tte te had our carpet for several years now \lthough I’ve always kept it clean uith regular sweepings. I think I’d like to have, it professional!) cleaned this spring. What should I know about professional carpet cleaning?

A. In the kinds of a competent operator, a professional carpet cleaning company can do a much better cleaning job than th<* best sweeping job or home shampoo procedure The most widely used commercial rug cleaning method is steam cleaning and shampooing with a rotary brush machine Steam cleaning removes more loosened soil and moisture than other methods It permits fast drying and minimizes texture changes in the pile of the carpet It is par ticularly recommended for deep plush and shag piles Be aware, however, that steam cleaning may not provide enough agitation -to loosen heavy, stubborn soil which, due to your constant efforts, you may not have* and it s usually more expensive (kin other methods

Professional rug cleaning may resul t in some shrinkage. Some of theungs backing yams may absorb moisture from the air. and this moisture mSv nse to the surface This moisture may Cause ripples or ridges to appear

body shop. Hartter stated even through all the remodeling and additions the front portion of the building, which still stands, is the original building. The only changes were on the inside. After Myers bought the building the entire building front was remodeled in 1939-1940 and the car showroom was moved to the front. Mrs. Myers and Hartter remember a number of remodeling projects on the old building. Some of the employees after Myers bought the building were Guy Cory, Hartter. George Haab. Ralph Berkey pile. Kate Myers and Ned Tarman. Hartter stated he was the service manager for most of the time but was also the bookkeeper for a number of years and parts manager. Even though he retired in 1976 he worked part time, when needed at the company. In 1956 the dealership was incorporated to become C. S. Myers. Inc., when Myer's son. Charles, took over the business In 1980 First Brethren Church congregation purchased the building from C. S. Myers. Inc., and it became known as the Brethren Fellowship Center. In the summer of 1980 the sale was finalized between the church and C. S. Myers. Inc., with Charles Myers and his mother. Mrs. Cletus Myers, signing the necessary papers.

There is another method often used by professional carpet cleaning companies cleaning with absorbent powder This utilizes sawdust or some other powder which is saturated with a dry-cleaning solvent The cleaner is brushed into the pile and allowed to remain while the solvent dissolves oily soil and transfers it to the sawdust It s important to remember, however, that most drycleaning solvents are poisonous, and your living roon(,would need complete ventilation And. if the cleaning compounds are not totally removed, your carpet may yellow and soil very quickly There is also a danger of fire, as leftover solvent is extremely! flammable

Since the church purchased the building it has been used as classrooms with the intentions of utilizing the building for a fellowship hall and recreational area. In December 1981 the first step in remodeling the buiding was undertaken when the front windows on the west section were blocked up for energy conservation. —o— SIGNS OF spring are appearing in Our Area every day — snow niows are up instead of working. maple trees have been tapped as sap begins to flow, the snow is melting! -O—MR. AND Mrs. John Replogle of Syracuse, formerly of Our Town, were hosts at a Sunday dinner recently in honor of Valentine’s Day and the birthday of Mrs. Replogle’s mother. Verda Shepherdof Main Street. Also enjoying the dinner out were Julia Reed and Priscilla Myers. —o— THERE IS a question being asked in Our Town and in a number of area communities, “Why are the Christmas decorations still up?” For several weeks, as town employees here and elsewhere were busy with snow removal, people understood Now > they are beginning to question why the job hasn't been done yet?

Seasoning usually consists of washing the interior of the frying pan with warm water and dish detergent in order to remove any oil residues left in the manufacturing process, and then thoroughly wiping the cooking surface with vegetable oil. The pan won t need further seasoning unless a harsh, dishwasher detergent or special non-stick surface cleaner is applied.

Another point to remember about non-stick surfaces, you may also need to purchase special non-stick, plastic cooking utensils. Some of The major appliance manufacturers recommend that no metal utensils such as knives and scrapers be used with a non-stick surface, if you don't have rubber, wooden, or plastic utensils, you’ll need to buy a few.

Stainless steel surface frying pans are extremely durable and stand up to almost any type of cooking trtensil. Coat the surface with cooking oil before cooking, and you'll rarely have any sticking problems. One more note of caution: stainless steel pans often become discolored when vegetable oil is heated in them; moderate rubbing with a steel wool pad will remove most of the brown stains.
