Late 19th century middle class living is evident in this Salida home, believed to be that of local photographer N. W. Meigs. The family plays cards amid busy decorations that include chair drapes, stacked pillows, heavy framed photographs and dark wood furnishings.
John Ophus Collection.
C. H. Kelleher, Salida Building and Loan President, Alice Chinn, Secretary/Treasurer, and Theo Jacobs, Director, counting the 3,000 silver dollars a patron had used to pay off a mortgage.
Francis Haley King, on the left side of the buggy seat, and her unidentified companion, won second place in the children’s float contest for their entry in the July 4 parade. The decorations seem to have held together remarkably well considering the parade route ran 12 blocks up F Street, turned right on Twelfth before returning to First Street on G. It was touted then as the longest parade in Salida history.
Haley-Bratton Collection.
A patron of the Salida Building and Loan paid off a mortgage with this wheelbarrow load of silver dollars. Building and Loan officers (J. Ford White, C. H. Kelleher, President, Theo. M. Jacobs, Alice Chinn, Secretary/Treasurer) are shown on the way to deposit the silver dollars at First National Bank.
