Alfred Johnson: Feb. 20, 1924 Park Falls, Wis.

Dear Friends,
 Well it's the weekend, finally. I don't know about you but I'm looking forward to it.
Anyway here is the a letter from a new person, Alfred Johnson. I don't think he is a relative. At least I don't think it's Grandpa's brother.

Here is what it says:

My address is

J.A. Johnson
       Park Falls
Bx 24        Wis

P.S. I am staying at
Wisconsin Hotel.

I think that he was offering Grandpa a job in a saw mill or logging or both. I wonder if he took the job or not? I do have a lot of pictures of logging. I just wonder if any were from this area or if most of them were closer to home.
For anyone who does not know where Park Falls is here is a map of where it is.

The population of Park Falls today is about 2,462. It was incorporated in 1912. Logging use to be the biggest business back in the day. A paper mill was and still is a large employer of the area.

Here are a few random pictures.

 Just a couple of logging pictures that are from that area.

Just a picture of flowers that grandma planted in an old water tank.

Well that's about all I have for you this time.
So I hope you will come back and visit again real soon.
Your friend,
Sandy
