Along the right a rather classy telephone openwire line adorned with some 16 or 18-pin crossarms and transposition brackets extended through this community's business district complemented by a nice view of some old cars, store signs, etc., of the postwar day.

Added note: thanks to Brent Burger...In 1965 Taft, OR and about a half-dozen adjacent burgs were combined to form Lincoln City, OR as that area is known today.
