1911:
City Scavengers, 500 W. Douglas. This
building stood at the east edge of Delano, just west of
the Douglas Avenue bridge over the Arkansas River. Among
those pictured in the above left photo are owners Frank
Smith and George T. Tuders and (seated) Nathaniel Longnecker,
a local veterinary surgeon. Today the site is occupied by
a Mexican restaurant, operating in a former gas station.
