The Massena, New York Museum - Part 2

I was touring the Massena Museum (see also yesterday's post) and came to this display, representing an old fashioned general store:

This cash register used to ring up sales in Massena's H.T. Clark Co:

And a poster from World War II, urging patriotic Americans to eat well and stay healthy:

There was entire room devoted to Massena's main export - aluminum. Massena is a company town and Alcoa has several plants in Massena and employs about 1100 people, about 1/12 of the town's population. By the way, did you notice that the war poster above was sponsored by Alcoa?:

And old fashioned washing machine with a Civil War soldier in the background:

And an early refrigerator:

I'm sure this Hotpoint kitchen stove was state of the art at one time:

Remember when people got new clothes every year for Easter?

A dining room:

I went downstairs to the Hearse room, where they had two enormous, horse drawn hearses. There were also displays of military costumes and fire equipment, - but the hearses and funeral home displays were my favorites:

This set-up used to be in a local funeral parlor:

I didn't photograph everything, but that'll give me new things to post when I make a future visit to the Massena Museum. My last picture was of this milk crate and bottles from Massena's Wilson's Dairy:
