From The ARCHIVES - Euclid square Mall Customer Service Manual

I got ahold of this binder from Euclid Square last summer, from http://mallwalkers.net/ be sure to check them out for more great content.  It contains a whole variety of papers used in the malls operation.

The Binder itself
Towing Record Form
 Stuff inside of it dates from when the mall opened in 1977, all the way into the 90s and 2000s. The older contents are much more interesting.
