If you pass by that intersection today, you will get a real jolt and realize that the Trenton of the pre 1950's is very hard to remember. I do remember the Firestone Service Center as I passed that intersection many times in the 40's and 50's while going to Ufert's Auto Store a block away. It was an impressive establishment, and well accepted by the local motorists. Today, all that remains is a parking lot.

- I remember delivering parts there in the 80's when I worked for Keats Ford. That was such a cool building. Ufert's was also a regular stop for me as well.

ReplyDeleteI'm searching for any information about Matuza's Esso/firestone on Lalor St in the 50-'s thru the 70's.
