Caption from Chester Times, March 30, 1950, page 5: "Media Jaycees at Work: Burgess J. Fred Schultz [with paintbrush] stencils first house number in Media Junior Chamber of Commerce curb stenciling project, one of the Jaycees' civic improvement projects for the centennial year. At left is Robert M. Shellenberger, chairman of the curb painting committee, with William VanLeer (stooping) and Donald MacMillan (standing) inspecting the Schultz job." Numbers were three inches high, in black paint on a background of "Traffic Zone" white. Sherwin-Williams seems to have supplied the paint and the caps.

Caption sheet says this building built on land once owned by Isaac Worrall in 1891, the same year the Media Ledger newspaper was founded.

The performance of the Keystone Kops was part of the 8-day Media Centennial Celebration in June 1950. The Kops "punished" beardless men who had not purchased the required "Beardless Permits," which were sold by the Lions Club leading up to this event. The club also held a Beard contest in which more than a hundred men participated. See Zimmerman Photograph Collection for many related photos.

Seated: Jack Kelley, Jr., Charles Allen, J. Clayton Snear, Francis Gray, Harry Walls, and Norman Yarnall.

P-01276, P-01277 and P-01278 are mounted on identical boards, with identical handwriting in the captions, so they were all probably taken at the same time.

This building was last occupied by Stillwell Moving and Storage, before it was condemned and demolished during Media's Baker Street Urban Renewal project. See photo in Baker Street Book 1-392, with plan showing the address; also various advertisements in the Chester Times. The Media News, a weekly newspaper, merged with the Media Comment in 1955, and offices of the renamed "Media News Comment" moved to the County Building on Veterans Square.
