I search old postcard collections for places from my family's past. The business on Rte #40 above the Susquehanna River and the bottle show held each year in Essex are good sources. But now I can search from home with Flickr.
In Montgomery County: The Second Hundred Years, a description of the hosiery mill, Globe Knitting Mill founded in 1885 by Joseph S. Rambo became Rambo & Regar in 1886. It was one of fifteen textile mills in Norristown, PA. My g g grandfather, a weaver since the age of 7yrs. came from Leeds, Yorkshire in 1841 to settle in Norristown and worked in the textile mills.
I want to post the Flickr picture of the Rambo mills, but have run into a glitch. At least the link is below.TEXT
