I had a lot of other things to do last week so I only completed two small tasks.

1. I downloaded Kodak Park Fifty Years Ago; A “Boy’s Eye View” of 1904 on May 11th from… Well, I don’t know where I got it from. I tried to find it again but failed to figure where it came from. It was written about 1954 by A. Whitman Crittenden who started as a messenger boy in 1904 in Kodak Park. His job let him visit all the buildings and see what was going on in each of  the buildings in those early days of Kodak Park.

This booklet was a Xerox copy and, as such, most of his pictures lack definition. But I thought that I has seen some of those pictures before. I did a little digging and on the Internet Archive I found Kodak Properties, from 1906. It was a booklet that had pictures of Kodak buildings worldwide. So I clipped some of the pictures from that and pasted them into Kodak Park Fifty Years Ago… . So you will notice that it now has some nice sepia-tone pictures.

2. I also scanned a WRVM sales brochure. This shows coverage and sales rates on this Rochester radio station. This station began in 1946 as WRNY. They became WRVM in 1957 and changed to a pop music format. They only used those call letters until 1965 when they changed to WNYR and became a country music station.
