350 Grand Street, The Burg



350 Grand Street, The Burg.
This is another place I can't quite remember
what it's use was but often passed by it back
in the day. Was part of this Trenton Coat Factory
back in the day?

This was Horseman Doll Factory, until they moved south to save on taxes, later the Coat Factory. Used to be a butcher shop on Elm and Randall, a small restaurant across the street from the factory and a penny candy store on Elm and Chestnut. Sax...Joe Z... need help with the names.

Barb, I remember the Coat Factory and the candy store, but the name is a blank. Hell I'm lucky now if I can remember a name of a person I met a week ago.

The small restaurant was owned by the Fergo family.

Hi Joe Z, I'm Barb P, we met a couple of weeks ago. I'll introduce myself again in a few weeks.

Rosemary, my aunt Louise used to work there too. We used to go into the little alley behind the factory. Whe would throw down doll heads and body parts out the window, we would give them to her and she would put the dolls together for us. By the way... how many times do you have to introduce yourself to Joe in a day?
