Bad weather during apple season was always disastrous for the apple growers, however, it proved to be a boom to the vinegar business Photo #1: 5 new tanks are being built to hold the year's output
Each tank held 48,000 gallons of applesPhoto #2: Unloading a truckload of apples The added 5 tanks gave them a total of 24 storage tanks. In the foreground is one of the new tanks nearing completion. The tanks were made of wood because wood resisted the corrosive action of the vinegar. Iron hoops bind the staves together Photos donated by John Fulmer |

These pictures were made below the bridge which leads to the overlook in Huston Wyeth Park. The Cut which slices through a section of Prospect Hill is given a military background by popular tradition But it was actually dug to provide an easier route between the city and The truck farms in the French bottoms. Most of the latter were cut off from this access to the city by the Missouri River's channel change in 1952. The paving of Chestnut Street eliminated Practical use of the cut many years ago. The name was changed to Paris Avenue many years ago but to the public It will always be known as Dug Cut and probably always will be. Dug Cut as viewed from the bridge at Rosine Street that once went to Wyeth Hill I heard rumors years ago that Jesse James used to ride through this pass on his way to his hide-outs in the caves along the Missouri River The old bridge from Prospect to Wyeth hill is gone now. Interstate 229 has replaced the entire area You have to go several blocks out of the way & under I-229 to get to the Wyeth Hill park Photo #1, circa 1945, donated by Rick Stafford, it was given to him by Louise Miller who used to live near the top right of the photo |

Dr. Lawrence Pilgram's Dentist Office Dr. Pilgram was there from 1973 thru August of 1985 The dentists who took over the location after Dr. Pilgram were a young couple named Nelson. Mrs. Nelson may have been the daughter of Dr. Larry Jones, who owned the whole building. The Nelsons remodeled the building, knocking out a couple of walls, making it all part of the 2401 address complex. Dr. Jones remained active there for a few years, finally turning the whole building over to the Nelsons. The owner prior to Dr. Pilgram was Dr. Peterson, a child specialist 2008 Photo #1 donated by Terry McGinnis |
