ATLAS, PA - OCTOBER, 1938
When Sheldon Dick was in the area photographing the John L. Lewis visit, he evidently stopped in Atlas to take a few pictures. These photos were mistakenly labeled as Shenandoah by the Library of Congress. Many thanks to Jip Menapace and the gang at his tavern for helping me identify most of these pictures.

Looking north on Fern St. with Saylor St. being the cross street. Jip
Menapace's bar is now on the northwest corner of that intersection. I
believe that the Chimmel home is on the southeast corner.
