Horse-Drawn Flour Wagon

Description:

A "Pearl Mills" wagon full of bags of flour, at the corner of Turner Street and Grand River Avenue in North Lansing. Pearl Mills, later the Breisch Milling Company, operated at that location for 75 years before being torn down in August of 1926 to be replaced by a "modern oil and repair station" (Lansing State Journal, May 19, 1926, page 2). In the photograph from left to right are employees George E. Palmer, Frank Chaffee, and the wagon driver Del Baker. The photograph was donated by Mrs. George Palmer.
