Trudeau was the lead story in this tattered copy of The Enterprise about the meeting of the Adirondack Cottage Board of Trustees held in New York City.

Give my regards to Broadway

Excerpts from a story by Bill McLaughlin:

”Saranac Lake in 1909 was not unlike Saranac Lake today, [remember, Bill is writing this almost 50 years ago] except that it was livelier and people were closer, according to Joe Hafford who is a natural historian and fountain of information if anyone wants to take the time to get it out of him.

”Hafford’s Express and News, also selling candies and tobacco is really the center of the picture above [below] taken from the Broadway Bridge in February of 1909.

”The sleigh belongs to the Hafford business and was used for deliveries. The Hafford store was in the building at the left, housing the Sands Taxidermist firm upstairs and the New York Taylor’s owned by Madison and Landman downstairs. Today the building is a bicycle sales store.

”Up, Broadway, across Dorsey was the J. H. Vincent Drug Store and a meat market, followed by George Finnegan’s candy store and the Wright and Bowen Shoe Store.

”Just above the Masonic Temple on Broadway, the Pierson Real Estate Company was in business.

”It was the year the main streets were being paved with bricks, and Marty Darrah was laying them down with great speed and dexterity with a helper named Miller working right along side of him. The bricks are still there, but covered by countless layers of blacktop.

”In the picture, right across from Hafford’s was the William Straight Grocery Store and Miss Perkett’s Lady’s Wear. The George Foy Movie House occupied the recently vacated Everett’s Store. [Next to the Rock Shop]. The Ed Start Barber shop was in the same block and just before the Colonial Theatre building was the George Downing Restaurant. Henry Wamsganz news store, the Sam Wolferman Clothiers and the Fortune Undertaking Parlor [located in what is today the Enterprise parking lot.]

The St. Regis Hotel location was still an empty lot.”

Big bucks for Lake Placid

(The Enterprise, Sept. 28, 1976)

”President Ford is expected to sign the $49,040,000 1980 Olympics funding bill today or tomorrow, according to an aide to Rep. Robert C. McEwen.

”Thomas Long, McEwen’s legislative assistant, said this morning that there would not be a ceremony for the bill signing. The White House does not pout such ‘routine’ bill signings on its daily calendar, and the White House press office had no information on it at press time.

”Members of the Lake Placid Olympic Organizing Committee are due in Washington on Friday for a series of meetings, arranged by Michael McManus who is Commerce Secretary Elliot Richardson’s liaison officer for the Olympics.

”The meetings have been scheduled for some time, and are not directly related to the bill signing.”
