In 1913 Mahanoy City observed its 50th year celebration.
In honor of the event a Souvenir Booklet was published
containing photographs of the borough and its surroundings.
A year earlier, in 1912, the Charles D. Kaier Company celebrated its 50th anniversary. The Kaier Company also published a Souvenir Booklet of photographs of the brewery, other Kaier properties and scenes from around the borough and its surroundings.
These souvenir booklets are now rather rare. Occasionally one will appear for sale on Ebay. The Mahanoy Area Historical Society has colorized the photos in both booklets and presents them here for the first time.
