WE NEED YOUR HELP...Historical
Society gets serious
in a search for pictures of CLIVE.
| The Holiday Open
House will honor
Ethel Reames for her ability to take the simple
egg and turn it into something fantastic.
She made Divinity (a candy that
uses lots of egg whites)
for the Holidays. The question was, what to do with
the left over egg yolks?
Noodles were the answer!!! You make noodles
out of egg yolks. A simple concept from which
history was made in the Reams' backyard.
Reames Noodles became a major success and
were then and are now well known across the country.
____________________________
Three new pictures to add to our collection. CAN YOU HELP!! |
Reames Noodle Factory before the Swanson Park.
The first Noodle Factory structure was a
simple two car garage. No cars were ever
parked in it ... only stoves, mixers, tables and freezers.
That structure is still present in the factory of
today. It's simply been surrounded by all the additions. |

| The Historical Society is proposing to put together an
Images of America "Clive" publication to be published by ARCADIA
Publishing. Their books are 128 pages of pictures and text.
This would be the first such book telling Clive's History and we
feel it is greatly needed. The time frame is from earliest of
Clive's days to the present.
EVERY ONE who lives in Clive ... has pictures. AND some need to be
taken of things of interest.
This is not just about CHS ... it's about Clive!!!
 |
We NEED
desperately your pictures.
Businesses, government, homes, families,
activities, parties, parks, churches, etc.
If it was part of the community of Clive then it
could be considered usable. It must be identified
and an explanation of the picture must accompany it along
with name, address, phone number and optional e-mail of the
person submitting or donating the picture.
PLEASE help make this a very nice pictorial view of Clive.
Not just for us, but future generations.
We will do the very best we can to get the originals back
to you.
If you have negatives, we will develop those we can use.
