1939 Detroit talking points from City Directory

[MrJones]

I saved this a while ago and wanted to share it here -

[MrJones]

There are even more, if you like these, I'll post the others.

[Gannon]

That is simply astounding.

Thank you.

I am very depressed right now.

Who is willing to make such a list today?!

[gazhekwe]

Detroit produces more goods for export than any other American city.

The cost of renumbering the houses of Detroit in 1920-21 was over $200,000.

Priceless info in those lists, but very hard to read. Can they be made a little bigger for presbyopia?

[Jimaz]

Can they be made a little bigger for presbyopia?

Yes, that would be best done at the source.

An alternative for those who have Windows is the Windows Logo Key+U. It gives access to a magnifier utility. I like to mention that in these situations in case it helps in more general cases.

If you save the image, you can enlarge it with your own image viewer program. The site automatically resizes it small.

[MrJones]

These images being shorter, seem to appear larger. Enjoy.

if you press the ctrl key [[or the apple or "cmd" key if your on a mac) and the + key at the same time the picture will magnify.

The biggest this, the first that, the most of just about everything else.

There wasn't anything on that list, that I could find, that still applies to today.

[Gannon]

Hence the source of my depression...and possibly the entire city's, now that I consider it.

Only two generations since...

[stromberg2]

It's an interesting list.....but a hell of a downer, too.

Don't worry, my friends... only think about what this city could be like two generations from now if we continue to work hard.

From first to worst, thank you free trade!
