Smith Bridgman was a very nice department store in downtown Flint. As a child, I always had my photo with Santa taken there. It closed in the late 1960s, or early 1970s, and no longer exists. In the 30s, 40s, & 50s, this store was the hallmark of downtown Flint. -----Original Message----- From: Patter1932@aol.com [mailto:Patter1932@aol.com] Sent: Friday, March 22, 2002 12:37 PM To: MIGENESE-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [MIGENESE] Re: MIGENESE-D Digest V02 #40 Hello Can anyone tell me if there is a photographic studio "WHEELAN STUDIO, SMITH BRIDGMAN & Co." in Flint ,MI., or there successor? I have an old photograph with the numbers "2F 11530-8 15" on the bottom of the photo and I think it is my uncle George Dewey Patterson who lived in Flint, MI. Thanks for any help.
