1924: CHAMBERSBURG BUSINESSMEN'S ASSOCIATION

This is a "stitched" double page scan from the Trenton Times of May 31, 1924. There are many memorable names in this advertisement. Note that a number of businesses are on South Broad Street, which was the original center of Chambersburg prior to the Italian section of Bayard, Emery, Chestnut, etc.

HI TOM....WOULD YOU BELIEVE WE HAD A STAR SEDAN IN THE 20'S. IT HAD SHADES ON THE WINDOWS. FLOWER VASES ON THE INSIDE WALLS, I BELIEVE IT WAS A 1926. DRIVING TO BELMAR IN THE SUMMER ON A DIRT ROAD, WE HAD TO DRIVE WITH THE WINDOWS UP. THE ONLY PAVED ROAD WAS TO ASBURY PARK. MY MOTHER DROVE IT FOR A SHORT WHILE AND HAD AN ACCIDENT WITH A WILNO'S LAUNDRY TRUCK AND NEVER DROVE AGAIN. I BELIEVE WE BOUGHT THE CAR FROM PETE TEDESKI, A NEIGHBOR ON BERT AVE. WHO WAS WORKING FOR THE CHEVY DEALER.
