1948: AN EXQUISITE VIEW OF THE HISTORIC WHITE HORSE INN

What memories! There's the late, lamented White Horse Tavern as it looked 56 years ago. The panel truck in front of that historic building then known as Gropp's Tavern, carries the name "Moses;" as I recall, Moses was a laundry organization, but that is speculation on my part. Look closely and you will see Tony's Tomato pies; long before we began erroneously calling them "pizzas."

Tom - Not sure if they had a laundry, but Moses Dry Cleaning was on South Broad Street near the corner of Liberty and near Pat's Diner. Not a cleaners anymore, but the building is still there and it's a beauty shop I think. My dad would travel all the way to Moses for cleaning services from Lakeside.
