How very popular Max's Department Store was back in the 1930's and early 1940's. Most of our Hamilton neighbors during those depression years were searching for a store where one could find a genuine bargain. As a young boy, I remember going to "Maxie's, as we called him where mom stocked up on items that were much more expensive in the downtown Trenton stores. Finding this set of graphics in my "NOTABLE PERSONS" folder reminded my of two other Jewish stores we frequented: Finkel's and Schnur's; both Trenton legendary stores for the budget conscious buyer with limited financial means.

ReplyDeleteI knew Max. He had a store on Olden Extension near the new farmers market. Later he had a restaraunt at the market next to my fathers store where I worked every night and Saturdays. Became freinds with Max's beautiful daughter Sheila who worked there.
Trenton in the 50's.Great memories.

Hey Lee: Good to see you still remember the eyes for all those lovely girls of our young years.
