and where can we see those clips. I saw one yesterday that was posted on here but would love to see more. I personally think all council meetings across the USA should be videotaped and available to the public for viewing

Really makes you proud to be from Pennsylvania.  

I read he was hospitalized due to being light headed. I thought that was a normal democrat thing.

As an outsider who ended up here about 3 decades ago, I have observed nastiness and stupidity from both sides.  The first 20 years I recall city and township suing each other non-stop over sewage.  
Lived in Sandy since I arrived.  DuBois it is.  No one has a clue where Sandy Township is, unless you live here.  At least the name DuBois is recognized beyond 30 miles.

Ridiculous !!!  This would cost a fortune. Think about the cost to businesses large and small with address in print would be garbage. Literature, Business cards, and the list goes on and on. Does anyone else think the name should change for warm fuzzy feelings?

I can’t believe someone is making an excuse for what he did?????   Three 9 year olds murdered and adults. I’m in disbelief.  

She is doing great!!

I have said this for a long time mostly about the US presidency. "Someone smart enough to be in charge is smart enough to know they don't want to be in charge."

That's life isn't it. What one person might think is great someone else thinks it's terrible. My wife likes it. I don't mind it.

Key word is Brookville. The facts are often twisted there.

Jeffers Electronics made parts for the "Manhattan Project". My father worked there and I asked him once why they had barbed wire fence around. He said it was "required" for defense plants at that time. Jeffers was purchased by Airco Speer who closed and moved to Mexico in '70 or '71. We didn't relocate although some did.
Airco gave the building to the City in hopes they could attract a business to replace the loss. The City sold it to the Rola Jensen Corp. Who made speakers here for a short time. When Rola closed, the plant manager ended up with the deed. He later sold it to Paris for a tidy sum... so much for caring for the community. Barbed wire still there today ( in case someone tries to steal my work uniforms ).

I believe Cameron in Reynoldsville retooled for WWII.  I've heard it was secretive what they were making at the time.

A bit more regarding the Milliron Building a/k/a The Harley Shop:
As noted previously, B. F. Goodrich is listed at 101 West DuBois Ave for the first time in 1944 (they weren't there in 1942). The last year for Goodrich there is1971.
The 1972 directory lists Ideal Products at that address, as do all available directories up to and including 2001.
The 2002 and 2003 directories have no entry for that address (I think the building was vacant).
In 2004, the first entry for DuBois Harley-Davidson, who are still there, which brings us up to date.
Thinking a little about the early days of the building, recall that the 1924 Sanborn map lists it as a warehouse. Yet, the 1926 directory entry lists it as the address of Milliron Construction and Milliron Garage, hardly warehouse activities. Further, for a time, Milliron was the Peerless dealer, also at that address.
Recall also that in 1923, Milliron Construction had offices over in the central part of town. That is, the Milliron Building apparently did not exist in 1923.
I suspect that as of the time the Sanborn surveyor did the November 1924 survey, the building had just been erected and was still empty, thus appearing to be a warehouse.

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

     corner 1st & W. DuBois Ave
AND  Milliron Garage general repairing and storage

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.
 

My wife used to work for a company in the underground facility at Boyers. Its really something.  

Thank you, to everyone who has followed along with Faith Marie’s journey to reach a year old!! The majority of us learned what Trisomy 18 is. We also learned that “Trisomy 18 is a Diagnosis, Not a Prognosis.” We have no idea what the future holds, we will go day by day. Everything is in God’s Hands, His plans & His time. 🙏🏻💜🙏🏻
