This large commercial block was originally home to Citizens Trading Company, a general merchandise and hardware store. In 1947, it became the Twin City Manufacturing Company, a textile factory that predominately made shirts. It was a subsidiary of Creighton’s at one point. I believe it’s still being used for manufacturing, as Stitch-n-Print, an embroidery business.

Boy ! Does this bring back some memories. My first real job was working here in the cutting room tying bundles. I was getting rich making $1.00 an hour which grew to $1.25 with my first raise. I was in my late teens with a baby. The General Store across the street is where I bought most of her first Christmas including the Christmas tree.
This picture brings back memories of old friends who are no longer with us and I appreciate your work on the project. Sorry I don’t have any history on this building except mine. I worked there in the late 60’s .Keep up the good work.
