Title	There were no red lights [on Cushman Street].
Description	Title taken from creator's notes . Photograph of Lavery's Grocery Store with flags waving in preparation for the Winter Carnival. Caption: It was said during this period of time that two families essentially owned the city. The Lavery family owned the south side while the Lathrop family had the north side. Except for these businessmen and a handful of other independent merchants, the city was primarily inhabited by the military personnel and Natives. It was the top (northernmost part) of the Alaska Highway system and the central hub of commerce. The only way to travel from Anchorage was by river boat or rail." Notes and captions are from Cecil H.
