Aged, rusted metal lard can for the Jacobs Wholesale Company, that used to be located at 1611 Eleventh (11th) Street. George F. Jacobs started his meat market, "George F. Jacobs", in 1906 located at 359 Eleventh Street, and then moved to the 1611 location in 1912. In 1922 the name changed to Jacobs Wholesale, with Frank Gerlach and Fred Jacobs , George's son, helping run the business. Fred passed away in 1942 and George passed away in 1950, leaving Frank to operate the business alone. In 1956 the business was discontinued after being damaged badly by fire, and Frank was able to obtain a building permit to raze the property.

Photo image of scanned scrapbook page. Pictured: Jake Giesler; Indian Rock, Portsmouth, Ohio. The famous boulder appeared in the late 1800's to early 1900's in the Ohio River. It would pop up every decade or so. Prominent citizens scratched their names on the rock. There is an image of a sort of smiling face on the rock that has sparked considerable interest over the years. Some believe this is an ancient Indian hieroglyph. Also pictured are some business ads.
