1934: CHAMBERSBURG'S DUBE POULTRY MARKET

This photo was taken when 78 year old Tom Glover and Hamilton High classmate Lee Belardino were was 6 month old babies. My two older octogenarian brothers were 9 or 11 years old. What a sobering thought! What makes this history project so special is the computer aided ability to bring together appropriate graphics to add to the historical significance of the posts. In this case, the fully enlarged photo shows Dube's Poultry Market in that flatiron shaped building. A bit of searching my collection of Trenton City Directories and other sources reveals a contemporary ad from Dube's after they vacated their South Trenton Union Street establishment. It's nice to be able to bring these little known historical bits and pieces together!
(Of course, there is always a chance that I might err in my historic descriptions. It's comforting to know that a more knowledgeable visitor will keep me honest and correct me!)

Tom - Just a minor correction - don't you mean 1934 and not 1834 on the Dube's Market post?
