It's really gratifying when I am given the opportunity to harvest various graphics relating to the very same subject as in this Niedt-Ertel series of graphics. As told in the article above, Edward Niedt started in the automobile business in 1919 on South Clinton Avenue. The middle graphic is from a newspaper ad which I have added a bit of color to give it more attractive appearance. This dealership was located across the street from Sacred Heart Church.

WOW. Good stuff Tom:)
Tom:
As a kid leaving Mass at Sacred Heart, I would be looking directly across the Street at this building. Many years later I was the Real Estate Broker of record when I sold this structure to Bill Beitel of Beitel Displays. Who took his company from a garage to here and than onto the Huge Drugco building on Princeton Ave. in Lawrence which I sold him. This little company grew into an Internationally recognized leader in Convention Displays, but really hit it big when Bill developed the device seen on TV for the Lottery.
Soon every country in the world was clamering for his product.
Imagine, it all started in a garage on Franklin St. in little old Trenton.
I represented my buddy Bill and his company until I left NJ ten years ago.
We still stay in touch, he on LBI.
