Dave, Are you sure this picture is from Columbus? There was a company in Milwaukee called the Chain Belt Company, later called Rex Chain Belt Co. It is still in business as Rexnord. I think they might have handled Reeves products as a companion to their own products. You can see the Rex name on the left side and Reeves on the signage on the right. Can anyone identify the location of this Reeves plant? Is it the one on 7th Street?

There was a Chain Belt company in Indy on the West side of 31 south. Could it have once been Reeves? Bob Lane

This post is a reply to a post that I’ve been unable to find. It appears to have been removed. The post asked if the Reeves Auto Company was associated with the Reeves Pulley Company. George and I went downtown and found the following at the Bartholomew County Library on Thursday, October 29, 2009. I don't think the Reeves Auto Company that Board Member jdhinkle posted on Wednesday, October 21, 2009 in the 1930-1939 Life in Columbus/Bartholomew County Thread from the 1935 Log ads is related to the Reeves Pulley Company, however I haven't seen a Reeves Family Tree. We found that Columbus City Directories aren't available for every year. I’ll list the information below of what we found. The dates will jump around and in some cases it’s because those years didn’t have a book. In other cases, it’s because the names or location hadn’t changed. Book date, 1923 - 1925:Reeves and Cooley Authorised Dealers Lincoln - Ford - Fordson L. E. Reeves and William R. Cooley 312 Fourth Street Now Fordson is a new name for me and I remember the Ford Dealer being on the northeast corner of Fifth and Jackson! Lawrence E. Reeves (Myrls) lived at 1653 Washington Street William R. Cooler (Gertrude) lived at 929 Franklin Street. Book date, 1940 - 1941:Reeves Auto Company 302 - 322 Fifth Street. — That address would be on the northeast corner of 5th & Jackson Streets. Book date, 1947:Still Reeves Auto Company Book date, 1950:Now Harrison Motors 302 -322 Fifth Street Book date, 1950:Reeves Tractor Sales 1003 State Street in East Columbus OK, I think we all know that at one time we had Dodge, Plymouth Dealers and Chrysler, Plymouth Dealers, Lincoln, Mercury Dealers and so forth! Could, or would, the Fordson been the early Ford Tractor? I wonder if Reeves sold his Auto business to concentrate his efforts on the Tractor Business. The following information was found from an Internet Search. Wikipedia states that the Fordson was a brand name used on a range of mass produced all-purpose tractors manufactured be Henry Ford and Son from 1917 until 1920 when it was merged into the Ford Motor Company, which used the name until 1964. You can read the full history here en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fordson_tractor .

Bartholomew County Hospital Years 1920 & 1930s2400 East 17th StreetColumbus, Indiana Comment: If you were born during the late 1920s or even during the full years of of the 1930s, then this is probably what the Columbus Hospital looked like. I too was born in this hospital and it probably wasn't much different than this picture. The vehicles parked in front looks like the late 1920s or 1930s. Some vehicle person out there should be able to maybe identify the vehicle year models. Source: Indiana University Library

I was recently ask if I remembered when Rd. 400 south was still a gravel road, in this picture I am shown with my parents in front of my grandparents house on road 400 South in about 1939 and the road is gravel. My grandparent's house was located about 200 yards east of the Little Brush Creek bridge on the north side of the road, the house is no longer there.

I was feeding the chickens at my grandparents house on Rd. 400 south in this picture, the year was about 1938. My granddad's car can be seen in the back ground. I can remember the house had no electricity and kerosene lamps were used for lighting, the radio was powered by battery's and the wood burning kitchen stove baked wonderful cakes. The house was just east of the Little Brush Creek bridge on the north side of the road.

Columbus Indiana During Depression 1935?Brief: I discovered this photo labeled Columbus Indiana year 1935. I don't know if it is accurate or just mislabeled, but here it is for your viewing. The only thing that reveals maybe Columbus is the delivery truck in the background; maybe saying Lincoln Furniture, but I am still unsure. The buildings could match somewhat Washington Street. What do you think? Comment: I found this picture on the internet many months ago searching, but totally unsure if it is truly Columbus Indiana.Interesting Connection Maybe?

Richard,
I just found out last week that Orinoco had a baseball team in the very early 1900's. If you could find me a photo of THAT, I'd be in heaven!
