Maxwell photographs...Hi Tom, I just love these R.C. Maxwell photographs. You can place yourself right into these scenes and imagine it is yesterday and all was well with our fair city of Trenton. The big boat parked in front of the Reading Railraod station, is a 1931 Reo Royale Model 35 5 pass. Victoria. The Victoria had the padded top as seen on this car. This magnificent vehicle is recognized by the Claasic car Club of America, as a full classic and set back the owner around $2,500.00 depression dollars.`This is when Fords and Chevys sold for around $600.00. The old sedan in the other photo, parked across the street, is just too generic from the rear to identify with any authority. I will say it is neither a Ford or Chevrolet, and it is from the 1920s.<br />I went through high school with Ron Litowitz, son of the owner of the the Fruit and Produce market at this location. We graduated from Trenton High in 1957. Maybe Mike Kuzma knew him, or remembers him.<br />Keep the photos coming. Enjoying them, reyfromvillaparkrayfromvillaparknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19041693.post-82126480120443964682011-12-22T04:31:40.321-05:002011-12-22T04:31:40.321-05:00Good Morning Tom:
eeing this photo reminds of one...Good Morning Tom:<br /><br />eeing this photo reminds of one of my first jobs as a kid at Litowitz's Wholesale fruit & produce on Tucker St. The store with the Maxwell Sign on it, is at the corner of Ringold St. The Allfather's candy company (a name that is frequently mentioned here) was just behind this store.<br />The big dark building looming over the car in the forefront is "Lavine's Dept.store.<br />Seeing the trolley, reminds me of the days when they removed the tracks to be used in the war effort.<br />Thanks for the memories, and Merry & Blessed Christmas to all.<br /><br />Mike KuzmaMichaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13296888329482355436noreply@blogger.com
