J. Rubin & Son Co., 1742 Blanding Street: early 1990s 2 comments
I was meaning to get back to this building when the sun was not against me, but as yet have not. Anyway, I noticed it driving back from downtown towards Harden one day a few months ago and the name sounded vaguely familiar.
Doing a google search turned up this this fascinating article on Columbia's Jewish history, in which J. Rubin & Son played a part along with many other familiar names.
As far as I can tell, the neighboring unit, 1740 Blanding Street was last South Carolina Electronic Equipment & Supplies.

The company in the adjacent address was HESCO, Horslacher(sp?) Electronic Supply Company. That place was just a gold mine. Junk piled twelve feet high to the ceiling... old tubes and parts you couldn't find anywhere else.

I remember back in the 1960s and 1970s they were wholesalers for Hanes underwear and had a sign on the building with the red Hanes logo on it.
