It took a bit of Photoshop tweaking, tilting and stitching to add the bottom portion of the original half page graphic I posted here yesterday. Upon closer examination, I found that the interesting articles at the bottom of the page were of GREAT interest; especially the article on employee pay. The photo of the A&P that once graced downtown Trenton is prominent in the above page from the Trenton Times. Who could ever forget "Jane Parker," "Red Circle," "Bokar," "Eight O'clock," coffee and "Sylvan Seal milk in those cone shaped cartons?"

This is my second comment today! A&P was always a part of my life, this store was before my time, but again I have many fond memories; the Bokar coffee and the Spanish Bar cake was o delicious! I still live in Trenton and I would be just as excited as the City was then to have a supermarket closeby.
They have closed Superfresh, Acme, Thriftway, Foodtown and Pathmark in the past years. We have to travel to food shop. They did put Bottom Dollar in and I defintely shop there. I hope they don't move out too!
MY COUSIN, JOE SALVATORE, RAN THE PRODUCE DEPT AT THAT STORE AND ON OCCASSIONS I HELPED OUT. BEST WISHES.
The building at 101 N. Broad Street, Trenton is still there although slightly altered on the exterior;
