1920s 1920s – Main Street shows an intricate, elaborate electric system with poles on both sides of the street, installed by Paul Smith’s Electric Light Power and Railroad Company Incorporated. Notice the small street lights attached to the power poles. The big Christmas tree appears to have had more boughs or smaller trees around the base. Even with a magnifying glass no lights were visible on the tree. The flag showing high behind the tree was on the movie theater which is the present site of the Downhill Grill Restaurant. Those early cars had soft tops, with Eisinglass side curtains, which rolled up and held with a leather strap. Eisinglass or Isinglass was much like the clear plastic of today.
