By JODY MARTINEZ ABC REFRIGERATION IMAGE PROVED ELUSIVE The Daily Journal Oh, the difference a month can make. Our last Elusive Images contest featuring Schuler’s Surplus Sales had correct entries arriving by the pile (49 in all). This month, only a smattering of readers even attempted to identify the loca- tion of ABC Refrigeration, and only one -- Ukiah’s Chuck Pittman -- did so cor- rectly. He wrote: “I think that the latest Elusive Image is of appliance store on South State Street on the east side just north of the old A&W drive in. This area is now a parking lot between Wells Fargo and a Chinese restaurant.” The photo is from the Robert J. Lee Collection, and was taken by Triple-S Camera Shop; it is dated “July 1950.” The building dates to the latter 1940s and was located at what was then 721 S. State Street. In September 1946, a $2,000 building permit for it was issued, and by fall 1947 owner Glen D. Goertz had it open for business. In July 1958, he moved the business to his home on Marshall Street, and that same month, Redwood Appliance and TV opened in the former ABC Refrigeration building. The April 30, 1959 issue of the Ukiah News featured a photo and advertisement for Redwood Appliance and TV, but the trail grows cold after that. No listing for it is found in the 1960 phone book, and a 1961 city directory printed by Photo courtesy of the Robert J. Lee Collection (Triple-S Camera Shop photo) The Ukiah Daily Journal lists ABC Refrigeration at what was then 721 S. State St., as it looked in July 1950. the building as “vacant” at that time.
