Today...the Grape Growers Assn. office and plant look like this. In addition to the buildings shown here, a processing plant has been built on the northwest corner of Ninth Ave. and Seventh St. The organization is listed as one of the oldest co-operative [sic] units in the United States.

Council Bluffs Changing Scene: Sanitary hairdressing Parlors, at 122 South Main, and its proprietor, Mrs. Sarah Pierce, at left, is reported to have been one of the first hair dressing shops in the city. The old picture is from Mrs. Helen Sherman of Underwood who worked in the shop as a girl. The picture was made in the early 1900's.
Today...the building front on the ground floor has been remodeled to make it more suitable for the insurance and finance business.
Council Bluffs Changing Scene: This is Scott Street after a hail storm in August, 1924. The picture taken from the southwest shows the Indian Creek bridge and Quaker Baking building--with the fire station tower at upper right. An ancient roadster is parked into a pile of hail stones. The photo was copied from a print in the album of Mrs. Frank Young, 236 Vine St.
Today...the same view shows the scenery changed as much as the auto styles. Indian Creek has been covered, eliminating the old bridge. A Greyhound bus depot replaces the residence at the corner of Scott and Mynster Streets. In place of the Quaker Baking building is a parking lot, extreme left. And the structure on the right houses the Bell Telephone Company office.
