    this is such a lovely image. It's too bad the quality is poor. I'd love to see more detail in this.
  • UA Archives | Upper Arlington History said:
    Yes, the original halftone photo was very small (only 1.9 inches x 1.1 inches) so there isn't a lot of detail when it's enlarged. But it certainly is a great image :)

    Mr. Rolf's business prospered unto the present day; Rolf Griffin Heating & Air Conditioning fixed my furnace in January of 2010. It is now Branch #008 of the Service Experts chain.

    Great information, thanks for passing this along! I just looked up the Rolf Griffin Service Experts branch in Ft. Wayne, Indiana. It's fascinating that they're still doing business!
