1935: Wilbur Trenton Times Delivery Boys

I never had a paper route when I was a boy. We lived in the "sticks" where the paper was delivered by a fellow in a car. The photos show a group of happy newsboys as they post in front of the Trenton Times Substation. Does anyboy know where it was located and if the building still exists?

The following information received from my friend, Paul Woolverton. Paul was grew up in the Wilbur section of Trenton:

*THE BUILDING (in the photo) WAS ON GARFIELD AVENUE BETWEEN EAST STATE ST. AND WALNUT AVE ON THE SIDE TOWARD CLEVELAND AVENUE.

*MIKE KEARNS IN THE PICTURE BY YOUR FRIEND DONLON WAS VERY ACTIVE IN THS SPORTS.. LAST TIME I SAW HIM HE WAS TEACHER AT TRENTON HIGH SCHOOL.

*ED CUNNINGHAM, WAS A NEIGHBOR. HE BECAME A LAWYER AND THEN A WORKMENS' COMPENSATION JUDGE.. I BELIEVE HE PASSED AWAY A FEW YEARS AGO.

Thanks, Paul. All comments gratefully received; especially when they shed additional light on a subject.
