Isn't is odd that our parents and grandparents thought that in order to
'modernize' one had to destroy all things that were over five years old! I
had the same problem with a 1939 Cleveland Railway map. I just replaced it
several months ago for nearly $50. Of course the first copy, destroyed by my
grandmother during a spring cleaning binge, was given to me.
Does anyone know during what years Smithfield and Wood had two-way trolley
operation. The question came up in a recent discussion here in Cleveland.
