The book has several interesting chapters; History of Corry PA, History of the Stanford Hose Company, and the History of the Corry Public Schools 1863-1955. Stories detailed in these chapters include Corry’s growth in the 1860s with the Pennsylvania oil boom when it started as a swamp and stumps becoming a city in 1866 with 10,000 residents, the great fire at Acme Oil Works of 1880, the Imperial Hotel fire of 1948 and how to grow a school system to provide for the hundreds of children arriving in this boomtown.Because the book had advertising from each of the sponsors, it lists hundreds of businesses of 1955 and their addresses. Everyone likes to reminisce about the old hotels, grocery stores, restaurants, lunch and sandwich shops, car dealers, and many other establishments. There is an index has been created to help you find your favorite business. Please see the index to see how many of them you know.
