Albert Berkelhammer, R. Dr.

Dad opened the store in 1942.It was cheap and he didn't want to take money from his sisters and yes the plant was great. Everyone loved him. He would open 9-5. Come upstairs for an hour, eat and nap and reopen at 6 til 9. Closed on Sundays. Always took off for all the high holidays.

No other pharmacies nearby.  When Korvettes opened that was some competition. Zabinsky, Bloomberg, Zimskind That's who I remember. Sold the store when I was finished with Douglass and started working for other pharmacies.

From Tony Siegel, Scottsdale, AZ

Siegel’s Stationery

S. Stockton Street

My father owned and operated Siegle Brothers, a wholesale house (not a stationary store) late of 28 North Stockton Street right next to Rossi Bakery, smell and all. The business going way back was on Hanover Street in my early days operated by my grandfather Sam Siegle. Dad and his brother Sydney Siegle (father of Phil Siegle) ran it until Syd's death in 1868. Dad ran it solely until his passing in 1972. My mother Ruth, still alive and kicking in Greenwood House ran it until the doors closed in 1986 or so. It's local competitors were Harold Anshen and Luis Kuperschmidt. Trenton Tobacco was also in the mix.

I lived all my Trenton days in West Trenton, first Sanhican Drive and then to Cadwalader Drive. Each day was a prized possession. I have virtually no history with South Trenton. At least while I was around, both parental grandparents lives on West State Street till the die they died. 

We are members of Adath Israel until my grandfather, a pillar in the synagogue,  passed in 1957. We then changed to Har Sanai.

I knew David and Howard Finkle quite well and Lester was my Dad's doctor. I presume you were related to them? [Yes. Great people]

Attended Junior Three (1954) and THS (1957)
