1935: SOUTH BROAD AND DIVISION STREET IN THE BURG

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't the corner building also house 
"State Sales," an office equipment outlet?
How very interesting to see these pristine R.C. Maxwell Duke University Library photos! In this photo, it is a clear picture of that area of Chambersburg during the Great Depression; fascinating!

    Tom, State Sales, the office furniture place was uptown a few blocks at Broad and Dye, in the old S.S. Allen's building. The establishment in this image still stands, but it looks as though the top floor has been removed.

    Not sure what it was back in my day, but walked by it many times to Junior Four.

    THANKS A LOT TOM....MY DAYS IN TRENTON WERE FILLED WITH MANY OPPORTUNITES AND I TRIED TO DO THE BEST I COULD TO MAKE MATTERS SEEM IMPORTANT. MY BROTHER LOU FOLLOWED ME TO FLORIDA AFTER THE HAMILTON BOWLING LANES WERE SOLD AND STARTED THE LUCARELLA RESTAURANT ON DIXIE HIGHWAY IN FORT LAUDERDALE, ONE OF THE BETTER ITALIAN RESTAURANTS IN THE AREA. THANKS AGAIN FOR THE GREAT MEMORIES.
