Photos of Salem businesses

Mike Carrick passed along these historic Salem photos:

First is the well known Meier and Frank clock that has been in the news lately because it was up for sale. “Meet me under the clock” was a familiar phrase for Salem shoppers.

Second is an interior shot of Steusloff Brothers Butcher Shop. They sent this photo to customers with a “Merry Christmas” message. This card is dated December 23, 1909. I guess in those days you didn’t have to “mail early.”

Thanks for the photos, Mike!
