Bremer County Independent; 17 July 1940 Northeast corner of intersection of E. Bremer and 1st St. NE. (101 and 103. E Bremer). Leopold Levy clothing with the Independent office upstairs and E. W. Jackson grocery with the Republican office above. Man in doorway might be Mr. Levy, The sidewalks are board with hitching posts at curb. Back up North on 1st St. Is the building of W. Kothe, merchant tailor. Ball Alley in Levy's basement. Original Town W 1/3 and Mid 1/3 Lot 4 Blk1
The photo was probably taken about 1888-9, when Leopold Levy had dissolved his partnership with Leon Hiller and started his own company, and E.W. Jackson had not yet taken his brother-in-law into his grocery business to form the firm of Jackson & Pierce and then begin selling dry goods.
