Addington East Side
Probably same day as Addington
west side.
The poster for "The Thief"
with a different picture but same date is visible.
The upper floor of the Harbison Grocery was the telephone
office.
Notice the lines in all direction.
Also look closer at the door. Lots of watchers from
inside the store.
