I have created an "AMERICANA" folder in the Hamilton Library's Local History Collection. It will recall many of the very popular places and things from the past as I recall them during my 80 years in Hamilton and the Trenton-Mercer County area. I, and many other seniors over the age of 75 remember when "Supermarkets" were strategically placed throughout the area. Ours was on Hamilton Avenue between South Olden and South Logan Avenues.The exquisite engraving above is a very accurate representation of the early "Supermarkets" long before bar code readers and plastic bags.It was here that we got to order "Bokar", "Red Circle," and "Eight O'clock" coffee which was ground on site as we waited for the operator of the coffee grinder to bag it and add it to our order.
