A 3"x5" acetate negative, 1977 or 1978 copy of a photograph of Pazdersky's Tailor Shop, Brainard, Nebraska, taken prior to 1920. The brick, one-story, corner building features three indented squares in the front facade, above the window and door, with the letter "I" centered in each. There is a large front window with sheer curtain over the bottom half and fashion photographs displayed, with an entry door to one side. Joe Pazdersky, dressed in a dark suit, white shirt and dark bow tie, and his son, Joe, Jr. are standing in the doorway. A boardwalk in front of the store covers the unpaved street.

Historical Notes
Joseph Pazdersky moved to Brainard in 1907 where he served as village Treasurer from 1913 to 1920. Joseph and his brother, John, constructed the building for their tailor shop in 1915. In 1920, Joseph and his brother returned to Baltimore to open a tailor shop. The building was sold and became the office of the Brainard Clipper.
