This very nice offset photo is a candidate for hand coloring. I am saving it in a "PENDING" file and will color and re-post it. Anyone who was around during the era when downtown Trenton was a bustling capital city will recall Kresge's and Woolworth.- Mack said...

HI TOM...THOSE FIVE AND DIME STORES, AND WE'LL ALSO INCLUDE GRANT'S, WERE THE HEART THROB OF DOWN TOWN TRENTON. EVERY DEPT HAD THEIR OWN SALESGIRL, NOT MEN, AND A DOLLAR WOULD GO A LONG WAY TOWARD PURCHASES. THEIR SODA FOUNTAINS WERE THE GREATEST AND WE ALWAYS LOOKED FORWARD TO A HOT DOG AND ROOT BEER FOR 15 CENTS. REGARDS.
