It’s time once again for #FlashbackFriday with the Whitewater Historical Society. This week’s image is another one taken by historical society member George Scharfenberg of a business change in Whitewater. In this case, it was the “going out of business” of the Clark Office Supply store on North Second Street (you can see the old Armory in the background). An office supply store was advertised as opening in this location (a former laundromat) in June of 1971. It was called the Colony Office Supply and Print Shop. By 1981, the business was a branch of the Clark Office Supply store in Elkhorn and was in business until the summer of 1994, when this photo was taken.

Join us next week for more from the Whitewater Historical Society.
