A Vision For Columbus As J. Irwin Miller Looks North West Toward Jackson & Brown Streets Over The Irwin Union Bank Year 1961Interesting: The picture was taken as he was standing on the fire escape at the Carpenter Drug Store, formerly the St. Denis Hotel in the early days. It is interesting that the direction he is looking, later became the Cummins Engine Company Headquarters Complex that engulfed many blocks and areas in the direction, he seems to be looking. Maybe, in his mind he was thinking about the future expansion of Columbus and it's beauty. Bank Employee: During this period board member Jack Hinkle worked in that bank. Jack said he would see him in the bank and occasionally ate in the cafeteria where he would eat at times.

Walking Toward Many Stores Of The Past Year 1961Comment: Mr. Miller is walking past Tovey's Shoes, then down a little was Cummins Books and Dalton & Payne Men's Clothing store.

1967Architecture fans will spot some extremely famous architects in this picture. Picture was taken at Lincoln Elementary School. Lady Bird Johnson was here for the dedication of the school. There is a plaque at the main entrance to the school commemorating her visit. Most of these architects had designed buildings in Columbus or did design work here. From left to right...John Dinkeloo, Gunnar Birkerts, Ronaldo Giurgola, Norman Fletcher, Dan Kiley, Robert Venturi, Kenneth Carruthers, I.M. Pei, Harry Weese, John Carl Warnecke and Alexander Girard:  Picture URL Link Address (Time Inc Standard): images.google.com/hosted/life/l?q=J.+Irwin+Miller+source:life&prev=/images%3Fq%3DJ.%2BIrwin%2BMiller%2Bsource:life%26ndsp%3D21%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DN%26start%3D189&imgurl=62687abb040aec8cDate taken: 1967 Photographer: John Loengard © Time Inc.

1967 J. Irwin Miller on the lawn of his home. For many reasons, he has become an inspiration and a hero to me. Although he was involved with politics, business and religion on a national level, he always put his hometown community of Columbus first.

1961
J. Irwin Miller walking North on Washington Street. Note Colliers Shoe store ahead on the right (the former Mode Theater building) and on the left Jester Department Store and Simmen Hardware (in the Commons block). [/size] One of the things I find curious about this picture is the location of Cummins Bookstore, on the left side of the street and up one block. I can't make out any type of outdoor sign, nor does it appear the underside sign is there either.
I wonder what year the Cummins Bookstore signs were added? |

David: Apparently, Cummins Book Store was located on the West side during the 1950s at some point. This very partial enlarged photo above the ladies head was taken in 1961, so the store had to be open during the 1950s, but have no idea when it opened. Here is the 1953 address book showing it still was there during 1953: 4th. intersects (West side Washington Street)402 Dalton & Payne (men's clothing) 404 Capital Finance Corp. 406 Cummins Book Store  Picture partial for discussion of URL Link Address (Time Inc Standard): images.google.com/hosted/life/l?q=J.+Irwin+Miller+source:life&prev=/images%3Fq%3DJ.%2BIrwin%2BMiller%2Bsource:life%26hl%3Den&imgurl=901f62ee9f327a95Date Taken: 1961 Photographer: Frank Scherschel, © Time Inc. 1961

Walking Toward Many Stores Of The Past Year 1961
Comment: Mr. Miller is walking past Tovey's Shoes, then down a little was Cummins Books and Dalton & Payne Men's Clothing store. The First National Bank is on the left at the corner of 4th Street. [/size] This is in response to Reply#228 on page 23 of this thread (also see the previous post!).
If you click on the link below this picture, then click on the picture to see the enlarged version, you can see the old Cummins Bookstore sign hanging underneath the canopy.
This sign is different than the one during the time my brother owned the bookstore in the 1990's. |

Our Tribute To A Grand Person & Board Member
First, before I post what I was thinking of, I want to pause, and give a super special thanks to “Nanc” or I should say, Nancy Stevens of California for her tireless efforts working with Time Inc. /LIFE to get the approval to post the wonderful copyrighted photos. Nanc spent endless hours and days communicating with the official of Time Inc. LIFE. Oh, sure Richard, George and I were in the background so to speak coaching a little and giving opinions; but ultimately it was Nanc that got the final approval. Heck, it was so tense at one point Nanc picked up the phone and called the official to make sure we were approved. Now, we seem to like to give credit where credit is due and Nanc this is your spotlight of a large “thank you for your continued efforts” in making the Columbus Historical Boards, what they are.
Richard, George and RER/Bob

This Is About My Second Favorite Time Inc./ LIFE PhotoAll over the 1940s and 1950s posts many have talked about the "Mom & Pop" grocery stores throughout Columbus and Bartholomew County. The Mom & Pop stores were around well before I came along in life and so did the first actual chain grocery store on Washington Street. As David researched the history of the Super A & P Market it was found it opened in 1941 and remained open for many years. I guess being the first chain grocery was the start of the demise of the Mom & Pop stores that I so well remember. Before the chains there were specialized meat markets and catch all Mom & Pop stores all around. I remember well walking by these small stores going to school at Lincoln and later out on 17th Street in the new housing developments of the late 1940s and during the 1950s. This picture to me shows the smiling faces of a family that was breaking away from the Mom & Pop stores of the past. It has its own story to tell just looking at the faces, as they depart the first chain store of Columbus.

Additional Customers Awaiting Service 1950 At Irwin BankColumbus, Indiana This morning I was going through other pictures that had not been posted and I ran across this one. In fact 4 of us have made an identification on one gentleman in line for service. He is Fred "Jigs" Eddy wearing a cap with a visor. We think that he worked in the late 1940s and early 1950s at the DX Fuel Plant, not far from the White River area at Mid-Continent Petroleum at number 40 East Brown Street. It appears he is holding a bag and some paperwork, which may indicate he was about to deposit some of the company plant money. "Jigs" was a former basketball player as was his son Freddie Eddy. The Eddy family is mentioned throughout these history boards in various places. Fred "Jigs" and Donald Bray had an appliance store in East Columbus at one time on State Street. The name of the store was "Bray & Eddy Appliances." Donald and "Jigs" played basketball together on various teams during the late 1930s and 1940s. Pictures of those teams are within these boards with the names of all the players. Here are the basketball teams Donald Bray and Jigs Eddy played on and the dates: 1938 - 1939 East Columbus Cardinals Basketball Team1946 - 1947 Monney's Tannery Basketball Team  Fred "Jigs" Eddy Top Man With Hat Can anyone identify other folks in this picture?
