1940's: State and Broad looking South

I love these photos from the R.C. Maxwell Duke University Collection. Note to my visitors. I see one or two of my posts being posted on the web. Please credit where credit is due. I try to obey the rules of copyright and when there is a photo or article that can safely be considered as "Fair Use" under the current copyright law, I make sure credit is given at all times unless I have no information as to the source and so state. There are hundreds of posts on this website which are properly credited to the Trenton Times newspapers. The above graphic is not Tom Glover's photo, it is properly credited to the Duke University Library.

The very poor offset photo from 1922 shows South Warren St. as it looked IN 1922 with the Hearnen organization on the 100 block in full view. I note that the area today is "where the action is," as numerous merchants have succeeded in revitalizing this historic area of Trenton. I certainly hope their valiant efforts are rewarded. Now if we could only get more of those thousands of state workers to patronize their establishments on a daily basis....
