Today it is easy to find spas that offer massages. In 1975, however, it was not trendy, and those who wanted a massage must have searched high and low.

The proprietor clearly thought the old tub on the pole added a touch of class to the establishment which offered "Scientific Swedish Massage."

Have you ever had a Swedish Massage?

    I've never had a Swedish massage and I don't think a rusted out washtub on a pole would inspire me to drive on in and give it a try. :)

    I've not had a massage, swedish or otherwise. That is a wonderful photo however. I hope your weather has warmed up a bit. g

    No, I haven't....too bad that "classy" establishment is closed, we could give it a try.

    Great picture, Nancy. I wonder if one didn't get a bit more than a massage at that establishment. Hmmmm? That's just based on some of the other "massage establishments" in the state at that time.

    I haven't had a Swedish massage or a scientific massage either. I'm not sure about how I feel about either of them anyway!

    I've never had a massage. I've had adjustments and electronic stimulation treatments at the chiro, but never a massage.

    I have only had one massage and I am sure it was not Swedish. I found the massage very painful not at all enjoyable. I am over endowed so it was painful to be pressed into that table..and the gal put all her weight behind her fingers..not fun at all..and the stinky oil she used..yuck:..I am sure I would have liked the Swedish Massage in your photo much better:)

    When I was a child and was at my grandparents we bathed in the tin washtub on Sat. night.
    I love massages but have never had a Swedish one.
