1925: WHEN THE TRENTON TIMES WAS ON STOCKTON STREET

I dare say there are a few visitors to this web site who remember the Trenton Times when the paper was located on South Stockton Street in Trenton. The above photo is an interesting illustration of what the building looked like back in the day. The Times was rightly proud of the large electric "TIMES" sign that graced the top of the building.

HI TOM.....I SURE AM ONE WHO REMEMBERS. I WOULD GO THERE EACH WEEK AND GIVE THE SCORES AND NEWS ITEMS OF OUR HAMILTON BOWLING LANES TO HERB CLARK IN THE SPORTS DEPT. WE WERE VERY ACTIVE DURING THE TIMES BOWLING TOURNAMENTS AND THE SPECIAL EVENTS WE HELD ON ROUTE 33 FROM 1955 TO 1970. TONY CAL'S AND PATTERSON CHEVROLET WHO WERE ACROSS THE STREET ALSO PARTICIPATED ALONG WITH THE TIMES DURING SPECIAL EVENTS WE HELD. BEST REGARDS.

Tom: Anyone visiting City Hall back in the day was sure to see that imposing building. Home of the Trenton Times, State Gazette, and the Sunday Times Advertiser. I  used to pick up my papers there to deliver to my South Trenton neighbors. Ironically on the othe end of the block at the corner of South Stockton, and East Front Street, Sam Jacobs started the "Trentonian" newspaper in the old Volk Tire Building. Sam worked hard to catch up to the quality of Jim Kerney's Trenton Times, and the joke we newsies would tell was; "The Trentonian is behind the Times" in more ways than one!! Regards Mike Kuzma
