Sam Graff I think it was Shep Bernstein who was on Union Street. It was his brother Dave who was on South Warren. Right, Mike Kuzma?

I’ve been trying to find pictures of my father’s business, Ross Electric Supply Corporation, 312 South Broad Street. It was across the street from Ben Getten’s paint supply store, Stovers Pharmacy on Broad and Market and Judith Lights parents furniture store going further south on Broad. Some of my most wonderful memories are of having a corned beef sandwich and real dill pickle at the deli on Market Street.......help, what was the name.

Thanks for the sharing of Honey's coat. Every single item was GIVEN to her by a G.I.  Quite a family treasure. She was a real personality. She gave her all working as assistant to Mr. Blacker at the ORIGINAL GWH!

Downtown Trenton, 1929

Downtown Trenton Harry Podmore 1929 Although there were a disproportionate number of professionals (Physicians, Attorneys, Certified Public Accountants, Dentists), most reverted to the family business of selling merchandise. However, they did it on a much larger scale. Trenton was known for its ‘downtown.’ Between Willow and City Hall, there were 100’s of stores, both small and large. The interesting fact is that most of them were owned by the sons and daughters of ‘Jewtown.’ During the era of the 1920’s, Jews had difficulty getting onto college, if for no other reason that they were Jewish. If they were ‘lucky’ enough to attend college from 1929 on, they returned home to support a Depression-starved family.

In addition, it originally housed the most prominent families of Trenton, such as the Roebling’s, the Kuser's, etc. The retail trade in Trenton saw its h

  In front of the headstone for Avraham and Rivkah Swern is a stone that is tilted backwards.  It marks the final resting place of Morris Freedman, who passed away on October 29, 1919. He is listed in the 1900 Trenton City Directory.   He was apparently in business with the Vine family with the shirt manufacturer Vine and Freedman.    There is a genealogy website that cites Freedman's business dealings here. Chapter 2-3: Simon (The Third Child of Benjamin & Bessie Wein) Simon (b. 1859; Lida, Vilna) was the third child of Benajmin and Bessie Wein. He married Libby (Leba or Bessie) Abramsohn (b. 1862) in Lida in 1883-1884. Simon and Libby had eight children: Rebecca, Emma, Jacob, Rose Leah, Louis A., Benjamin, Rachel and Norman. Simon immigrated via Hamburg on April 28, 1896 at the age of 37 on the SS California and arrived NY on May 15, 1896. Libby arrived in either 1898 or 1899. The oldest six children (Rebecca, Emma, Jacob, Rose Leah, Louis A. a
