Coran & Dennis - Duluth
|
Coran & Dennis was an electric appliance store that was located at 229 North Central Avenue in West Duluth. The proprietors were Alexander Ralph Coran (1890-1962) and Jacob Harry Dennis (1889-1968). Memories of interest:
"I was very young when my grandfather Alex lived with us. I do remember he was very handy and did fix singer sewing machines."
"So it turns out that Al and Jake, brothers-in-law, ran an appliance store, mostly washing machines and sewing machines in Duluth.
We have a picture somewhere of the store front with my grandpa Jake sitting on a motorcycle outside the store.
No idea if the bike was his.
Jake was a salesman who would go out and sell parts for repair and accessories to their customers.
Al apparently had a knack for fixing things.
(This info is from my Mom, Jake's daughter. I am, by the way, named after Jake.)"
