REED'S PRIDE CIGAR BOX FROM I.W. READ MERCERVILLE

This delightful relic of the past could very well have resided on the shelves of the Hooper-Chamberlain-McCabe general Store back in the early 20th century. It is a beautiful relic of the past and holds a special place in the Hamilton Township Public Library Local History Collection.

Hooper McCabe's. I remember going there 50-60 yrs ago. When staying with George Washington. George Washington Bound, my grandfather. He was injured in WWI, a Wagoneer, and passed away in 58. He hung out at the saloon, across from McCabe's, near where that monument is/was. Anyone know the name of that bar/saloon. I hear he was quite the pool player, in spite of his injured/crippled hand.
