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.
This image is of when the business was at 71 Elizabeth St.
