Other:
In the mid-1920's, Anna and Claude Magers had a restaurant on Shelby Street between Market and Jefferson. They catered mainly to people working on the railroad, serving hot plate lunches. A black woman was the cook. The railroad laid people off during in the late 1920's and 1930's and the Great Depression caused business to go down. The banks closed and they lost their savings and eventually the restaurant, their house in the West End of Louisville, and their car. Anna took a job working a lunch counter in Germantown and Claude bartended at a tavern on 1st Street between Market and Jefferson. When World War II started, Claude took a job at American Standard (Standard Sanitary). They also owned a house on Shelby Street, 1 1/2 blocks north of Eastern Parkway, where they lived for a few years prior to renting it and moving to Marret Ave and, finally, 835 Mulberry Street.

Their son, Harry ("Duke"), got a job at the Curtis-Wright Airplane Factory on Crittenden Drive (later became International Harvester) and later went to work for the C. L. McBride Co. on East Market Street (South Side) between Shelby and Campbell. The company installed gasoline tanks and pumps. Duke and his brother Bob bought the company in the early 1950's and sold it in 1973.
