'Turnback Tuesday' features downtown Derby business
Turnback Tuesday highlights another Derby business. In 1919, Charles M. Ringel established “Ringel’s Cleaning & Dyeing Co.” at 71 Elizabeth St., where Sunflower Dental is now.
In 1927, he moved the location just up the road to 97 Elizabeth St. In 1935, Charles added a partner, James F. Tighe, and renamed the business Ringel & Tighe Cleaners & Dyers. The business again moved in 1937 to 61 4th St. The gentlemen remained partners until Rangel’s death in 1940.
