It's a nice ad encouraging Journal readers to visit the church of their choice on Easter, with a handy (and impressive) directory of all of the houses of worship.
As usual, it's interesting to see which of the companies sponsoring the ad are still around in 2025 – seventy years later. Although there are several banks listed that have successors, it looks like it's just the Journal and Polansky's Market that are still active.
I wasn't sure if the Morning Journal still had any presence in Lorain at all (ever since the paper moved out of the old Dianna's Deli building on West Erie). I was surprised to see that the Morning Journal has a Lorain mailing address of 401 Broadway, apparently in the Duane Building.
A blessed Resurrection Sunday; HE IS RISEN!
ReplyDeleteAl Lou & Jim’s auto parts had the best ad slogan combining their need for a day off and suggesting people attend their place of worship. Closed Sunday- See you in church. Todd
ReplyDeleteHi Todd, I remember that and always thought well of them for that sign!
ReplyDeleteA lovely ad for the season. Happy Easter, and thank you for your blog!
