1926: Joe's Tire Shop - South Trenton


Perhaps it is a nostalgic thing. I remember when South Warren Street wended its way further south along the riverfront when I was a teenager. Some of my contemporaries will remember Tilden Brakes, Penn Jersey, and other automobile related concerns conducted their business on that very busy thorofare back in Trenton's earlier years. Today, South Warren Street below West State Street makes a curve and merges into South Broad Street. Office complexes now stand where the former street was located. The graphic is a combination of the original ad for Joe Pettingell's Tire company and I inserted an early Trenton map segment which pinpoints the site of his company.
