Cleaning the Sidewalks--Photo of the Day

  In the early to mid 1900s the residential sidewalks were cleaned by Ed Jensen or Ern Anderson.  They had a small v-shaped wooden plow that was pulled behind a horse.  You usually saw Ed on the west side of town and Ern on the east side.  The two gentlemen did an excellent job after a snowfall in getting the side walks cleaned.  The photo above is of Ed Jensen taken in1947 near where we find One Man Band today.  The "Egg Plant" or Intermountain Farmers building is in the background.
