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!

    Art   I used to received your blogs regarding Trenton's Jewish community and 1 that I remember was from a Trentonian author that was living in New Zealand in which he mentioned an illegal liquor "still" in the period of Prohibition built by his uncle on Union St.   I figured he was referring to the still that was built to my mother's brother, my uncle, Abe Byer, next door to my grandfather's (and later my father's) hardware store at 63 Union St. and came to the conclusion that he was the New Zeeland's person uncle by was of his wife.

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.
