My great grandfather Charles Layton operated the Greensburg Implement Company from 1942 until the mid-1950′s. This advertisement appeared in the Greensburg Daily News in December 1945. The text reads:
“Our hearts are full of gratefulness to all our friendly customers who have been so understanding during wartime limitations in service and merchandise. Thanks to you! A Merry Christmas to you! And we will try to do our best for you always!

I LOVE this, and I love your masthead photo!
Thanks Julie Ann! The third man from the left is my great grandfather, Charles Layton. Second from the right is Samuel Applegate… I’m related to him on the other side of my family.
