I spent a couple hours going through the library's collection of DuBois city directories. I don't know if there are gaps in the collection because new directories came out "once in a while" or if the library just doesn't have a complete set. Either way, the  years listed below are the only directories available for the 1923 to 1948 period.

Note that the Harley shop lists its address as 101 W. DuBois Avenue

1923 Milliron Consruction Co. Wilson W Milliron, Pres.
     222-224 DuBois National Bank Building
[It would seem that the building was erected just in time to be recorded on the 1924 Sanborn map.]

1926 Milliron Construction Co. Inc. W. W. Milliron, Pres.
     corner 1st & W. DuBois Ave
AND  Milliron Garage general repairing and storage
     corner 1st & W. DuBois Ave

1929 same as 1926
     Also, an ad indicating Milliron was the
     dealer for Peerless Automobiles

1931 no entry for Milliron Construction, however three Millirons (but not W. W.) are listed as having responsible positions in
     Independent Construction Co. at 10 E. Washington St.
     at 101 W. Dubois Ave:
     Coyle, Denny H. service station

1933 at 101 W. DuBois Ave:
     Edwards Motor Transit Co. garage
     Zetlwanger, Herbert P. auto repair

1936 101 W. DuBois Ave, Milliron Building
     Dinsmoor, Martin W. restaurant
     Auto Aligning Co.
     Doc's Garage
     Moore, Wayne W. trucking
     U.S. Works Progress Administration
     State Emergency Relief Board
     Edwards Motor Transit garage

1939 101 W. DuBois Ave, Milliron Building
     Dinsmoor, Lula Mrs. restaurant
     Auto Aligning Co.
     Doc's Garage
     Moore, Wayne W. trucking
     U.S. Works Progress Administration
     Edwards Motor Transit garage
     Miller, Arthur P. service station
     Shaw's Truck Lines

1942 101 W. DuBois Ave, Milliron Building
     Edwards Motor Transit garage
     Shaw, William trucking

1944 101 W. DuBois Ave, Milliron Building
     B. F. Goodrich rubber goods

1946 and 1948 same as 1944

In all of that, I found no connection between the Vulcan Soot Cleaner/Blower Company and the Milliron Building. But I was distracted by trying to follow the ins and outs of the Vulcan Soot enterprise in its career in Dubois, so did not look to see when Ideal took over the building. That and recounting the adventures of Vulcan Soot must wait for another time.

 

Thank you so much for all of the latest info on the Milliron Building. My wife has not had a lot of info on Wilson Milliron and is grateful for what you have found out. It has answered several questions she has had about the building. 

My wife wasn't sure when they built that building, she was guessing in the 30's. Now she knows it was probably early 20's. Thank you for your info rnetzlof.

My wife told me that her Great Grandfather W. W. Milliron owned Milliron Construction and she thinks in the 30's Milliron Constructioned built that building and it housed their business. She is not sure when they sold the building. But Milliron Construction built Mansell Stadium in DuBois and also the set of Stairs that goes up the hill from Route 255 at the intersection of Liberty Blvd.

This is not a cookie so please forgive me but I saw this on Live with Regis and Kelly this morning, it was the first that I had ever heard of it, but it looked so good. I found a recipe online.   It is a Crack Pie and here is the recipe.  The one on the show this morning looked like they sprinkled powder sugar on it after it was baked.

Ingredients

1 9" unbaked pie shell

1 cup granulated sugar

3/4 cup packed light brown sugar

1 tablespoon fine cornmeal

5 eggs

1/3 cup whipping cream

1 tablespoon cider vinegar (optional)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

1/2 cup melted butter

Directions

Combine granulated sugar, light brown sugar, and corn meal.

Beat in eggs one at a time.

Stir in whipping cream, cider vinegar, vanilla extract, and melted butter.

Pour into unbaked pie shell.

Bake on middle rack at 400 F for 10 minutes. (this helps create the CRACK)

Lower heat to 325 F and continue baking for 45 minutes more.

 

 

It had (sic)  beside Halls Creek, meaning the spelling was unsure. I'm sure it's Falls Creek

Thanks,  I didn't know what the (sic) stood for.

According to this site  http://www.duboispostcardhistory.com/index.html    It's between Du Bois and Falls Creek. Take a look at the site, it's got a lot of nice pics of DuBois

I have only lived in this area for about 25 years.  I checked out the web site and the picture says it runs between DuBois and  Hall's Creek.......Where was Hall's Creek?    Is that what is known as Falls Creek now?
