T. J. Maner’s Radio & TV Service, 1920s, Marlow

Thanks to Marvin Maner for the identification. This was his grandfather’s shop and is still owned by his family. Before the disposable culture we’re accustomed to today was a thing, radio an television repairman did good business fixing those old devices. The building dates to the 1920s, and obviously, that predates the advent of television.

    This is an old TV repair shop my Grandfather ran. Its right in front of the home where my father now lives and was left to him by his parents. He still lives there today and that shop is still there. I was just there a few weeks ago. The house behind this shot holds a good bit of history as well and was once owned by the Georgia Railroad I believe. Your picture of Smittys Grocery store in Marlow also once belonged to my family. Amazing finding a picture of this shop online.
