Spencer Businesses 1928
Never in its history has the city of Spencer looked so beautiful at night as it does during this festive season. The above photograph, taken by Winton Medlar from the roof of the Hotel Tangney last Wednesday night, gives only an inkling of the splendid illumination afforded by more than 1,000 special electric lights strung in pretty festoons down either side of Main street in the business district. Five illuminated Christmas trees, beautifully decorated with colored lights, adore the main intersections, making altogether a most brilliant illumination. Seventy-two colored lights on East Fourth street will also add their brilliance to the beauty of the scheme.
Spencer stores, open evenings this week. are enjoying an unusual holiday trade, the special illumination making shopping particularly attractive after dark. Merchants who subscribed for this special illumination are:
