1915: TRENTON'S HISTORIC MILL HILL AREA
JUDY AND I ARE WEEKLY TRAVELERS TO MILL HILL AND THE SACRED HEART CHURCH ON S. BROAD AT CENTER STREET. UNFORTUNATELY, BACK IN 1915, THE PRINTERS' ART HAD NOT QUITE FIGURED OUT HOW TO REPRODUCE OFFSET PHOTOS. THE PHOTO OF THE INTERSECTION DOES SHOW THE MILL HILL TAVERN ON THE LEFT. HOWEVER, AS YOU LOOK AT THE SIGN WHICH READS, "MARCUS," YOU WILL REALIZE THAT THERE IS A HIGH RISE APARTMENT ON THAT SPOT. I REMEMBER FREQUENT TRIPS TO THE SPEEDOMETER SHOP ON SOUTH BROAD STREET. UNFORTUNATELY THE SIZE OF THIS FULL PAGE TRENTON STATE GAZETTE GRAPHIC WILL BE A PROBLEM FOR THoSE WHO DON'T HAVE AN LCD MONITOR, BUT EVEN WITH A CARTHODE RAY MONITOR, THE FASCINATING ADS FOR THE MANY MILL HILL MERCHANTS WILL COME SMILING THROUGH. THE FOLKS AT THE MILL HILL SOCIETY HAVE A FABULOUS WEBSITE. VISIT THEM AT http://www.trentonmillhill.org.
