Main Index        Thomas Family        Yesterday        Today        MattieV        Main St. Baptist        6th Street        Springfield        Jack & Judy       Links Dancy Terrace or Redell Street between 9th and 10th, Main and Hubbard Streets, Springfield, Jacksonville, Florida Springfield Businesses in 1937-39 As advertised in the Mattie V. Rutherford School newspaper May 1937, 1939 The following local businesses were advertised in the Mattie V. Rutherford School News. The ads were hand drawn and lettered and appeared in various sizes. It is assumed that the school generated income to pay for the Newsletter by soliciting these ads. And, it looks as if the school kept roughly the same page layouts and advertisers from year to year for they appear much the same in both 1937 and 1939. These stores would have been known to and frequented by all the local residents and children of Springfield. The listing here has been organized by the proximity of the "business" to an intersection with Main Street. For some I can't be sure and have listed them separately. 2nd and MAIN King's Sundries School Supplies, IceCream, Candies, Crackers, Toys 2nd and Walnut Sts. 3rd and MAIN Quaintance-Baines Drug Company Prescriptions, Drugs, Drug Sundries Toilet Articles 3rd and Walnut Streets Phone 5-0908 Thelma's Grocery and Confectionery Third and Ionia Streets 456 Third Streets O.J.
