They were billed as the "Goldberg Old Timers Club" back in the day. I recognize Mr. John Geehan who went on to be the boss at Yard's Department store when my wife Judy worked at Yard's in the Infants' Wear Department. There are probably a number of visitors who may recognize other old timers from that era.

IT WAS EITHER GOLDBERGS OR GIMBELS. WHEN THINGS GOT BETTER IT WAS SWERNS AND DUNHAMS AND SOME OF THE STORES THAT CARRIED THE MORE EXPENSIVE GOODS. DURING THOSE DAYS TRENTON HAD A FAIR SHARE OF DEPARTMENT STORES. BEST REGARDS.
