How many of you guys took advantage of one of those Bond suite with two pair of trousers? I did, for my 1951 graduation at Hamilton High. I wager there are other visitors who also were patrons at that legendary store. I could never afford the more affluent Donnelly', Eton, and other high priced mens stores. This view brings back many treasured memories. There's Yard's where the love of my life worked in the infant's wear department and modeled teen clothes from the Yard's "Junior Deb" shop.

HI TOM...I'VE MENTION BONDS MEN'S WEAR MANT TIMES IN MY COMMENTS. I KNOW OF NO STORE TODAY THAT OFFERED THE CLOTHES AVAILABLE AT BONDS. THE FIRST ITEM I BOUGHT AFTER GETTING DISCHARGED FROM THE NAVY IN 1946 WAS A TOP COAT AT BONDS IN NEW YORK. IT FELT GREAT AFTER WEARING THOSE NAVY PEE COATS. LIKE YOU, THOSE OTHER STORES WERE BEYOND MY MEANS. DOWN TOWN TRENTON WAS A PICTURE OF JOY DURING THOSE YEARS AND MADE MY JOB AS A LETTER CARRIER THERE FEEL GREAT. THANKS FOPR THE PLEASANT MEMORIES AND BEST REGARDS.
I'D LIKE TO ADD, TOM....DOWN TOWN TRENTON WAS A BIG TREAT FOR WE KIDS IN THE BURG DURING THE 20'S. IT WAS LIKE A HOLIDAY AND THE BEST STORES WERE THE 5 AND DIMES. WITH THEIR FOUNTAINS AND VARIETY OF STUFF MADE US LOOK FORWARD TO THE TRIP WITH OUR MOMS. THANK YOU ON BEHALF OF THE OLD FUGGIES.
