Oops! We have a fender bender here dating back to the year 1941. I tried to find the newspaper account of the accident but was unsuccessful. The photo comes from the Hamilton Township Police Department History files and shows the mangled fender and other front end damage on Prior's Diamond T delivery truck. The ad above is from my "BUSINESSES-TRENTON" folder in the Hamilton Library Local History Collection.

I think I passed it by on the way to Jr 4, with my tongue hanging out. :) 5 cent pies. Wow. Thanks Tom.

Tom, was there a soda bottling plant on that corner? I seem to remember
riding bike down there, and pressing nose to window, when about 10 yrs
old, later 40s, until someone felt sorry for us in the 100 degree heat
and would offer us a COLD bottle of COKE I think. Thanks for the great
memories.

Hi Tom: You've triggered yet another tasty memory. My parents would take
us to Prior's after church on Sunday. What a great treat that was.
Regards

Prior's was truly a great bakery, back in the 1940s and 50's. There were
two especially delicious donuts, that were a specialty. Cream sticks,
and the glazed potato donuts. I think they were 60 cents a dozen. We
would buy a quart of milk and a dozen donuts and knock them off right
there on Liberty St. For what it's worth, the best Jewish rye bread, I
can remember ever buying, was from a garage behind a store, at the
corner of Lamberton, and Lexington Sts. After a Saturday night out, we
would pick up the New York Times, just as it was delivered, a little
past midnight, at the news stand on Market and Broad, pick up fresh hot
rye bread, right out of the ovens, go home and put on a pot of coffee.
There were two bakers, and it was hot as could be in the building. There
were racks of bread and rolls and a wonderful smell of fresh bread. I
can still remember it vividly. rayfromvillapark

Ray:
The bakery you refer too, was "Kramer's bakery. They had relocated to Lexington St. between John Fitch Way, and Lamberton St. from thier original bakery on Union St. Kramer's was famous for it's bagels, and with the expansion of John Fitch Way, they relocated again to Hudson St. between Greenwood, and Hamilton.
When things really deteriorated in Trenton, and George retired, his son Paul the local politician took the bakery to the Shop Rite Shoping center on Nottingham way near Klockner.
Saturday night at Kramer's on Lexington St. was like a reuion.
Ii would pick up the NY Mirror from Mousy the newsie in front of the Railroad Station. Could not afford the NY Times, and bagels too.
