*During the Great Depression many homes were still heated with coal. This was changing. Soon oil would take over. A coal delivery truck like the one above is what Irene & Chas. would be shoveling the driveway for. (image from Old Cars Weekly posted Jan. 3, 2012)

Thanks for visiting this flashback to 1936. I'm sure Irene would be pleased! We'd love to hear from you.
