As I
recall in the 60’s and 70’s the best known camera shop in Minot was Reub’s
Camera. During the 1961 Jubilee Event, Reub’s was located on 1st
Avenue SW, ½ block east of the Post Office…. The Post Office at that time was
located in what is now known as the Federal Building. Polaroid Cameras were the
big thing at that time. Pictures in 10 seconds. New Polaroid cameras were
available from $74.00 to $139.00. Reub’s Jubilee special was a Wollensak Movie
Kit for $299.95. This consisted of an 8mm camera with a zoom lens, a projector,
a 30x40 inch screen, carrying case and a 2 year supply of black and white movie
film. Eventually Reub’s moved to the corner of 2nd Avenue and Main
Street
