Two Brandon Businesses on Front Street in the late 1930s

The Meissner Garage on Front Street

Clarence Johnson is standing near the gas pump with Albert Meissner  on the other side.  At one time this was a blacksmith shop owned by James Larson and later John Smith.  At the present time this would be where the Austin Lehn building is.  To the rear you can see a corner of Cooty's Station

Cooty's Station was located where our present water tower is standing. 

To the left you can see the back of the Meissner Garage, which is now the Austin Lehn building.  Standing in front of the station is Cooty ( Richard ) Rogney, the son of Theodore & Tina Rogney, who ran the Rogney Cafe.
