From harness shop to jewelry store-this building was first the site of Young's Harness Shop. A stuffed horse was used as a model for the harnesses. The next owner of the store was Mr. H. H. Smith, Sr. who was a jeweler. The husiness was passed on to Mr. H. H. Smith, also a jeweler, who sold it to Mr. George Dur- ham, the present owner. Changing Times anti. -S 5 j Q . Ji Although changed somewhat, Sn1ith's jewelry Store still exhibits glittering jewels in the glass cases. Cruising Down the River to Mugg's Landing in a small steamer, such as the one pictured below, offered many an exciting moment in the Hold days, Located across the river from Chautauqua Park behind what is now the Eugene Meis resi- dence, the landing served as a loading and un- loading point for groups going up the river for excursions or picnics. A large barge could be at- tached to the steamer when large groups such as Sunday school classes would go on a picnic up river. A '61 Ford Qforegroundj is a big improvement over the first Model T. The Jewel Tea cilblllplllly is the city's newest grocery store Qhuilt in l960j. A X P, Kroger, l.G.A., and many independent grocery stores also have businesses in Pon- tiac.
