Cleveland's Largest and Most Established Ballroom

Cleveland's Largest and Most Established Ballroom
Every week during the 1930s and 1940s, Cleveland's newspapers featured ads like this for the Aragon Ballroom and the city's dozens of other dance halls. The ads, like this one from the November 28, 1937 Plain Dealer, nearly always contained the name of the big band era orchestra leader who would be appearing that week.
