Hamilton Lanes Ad 1957 (Owned by our Ralph Lucarella)



Hamilton Lanes Ad 1957 (Owned by our Ralph Lucarella)
Along with 3 other Bowling Places this ad was taken
out for the Trenton Catholic High School Yearbook.
This was a cool thing to find:)

Hi Mack: That ad announcing the automatic pinspotters was an
enormous boost to the bowling alley business. It changed the
name to bowling lanes and also removed the need for pin boys.
The kids were great but too much depended on their availabilty.
We had to send someone to school to learn how the machines
operated and our man , Ben Stec, is still around bowling 2
nights a week at Hamilton Lanes. He also helped the other lanes
when they had problems. When I left, My brother Lou took over
and after 15 years on Route 33 sold the business to the Mack
family. It was a great experiance for me and I met many
wonderful people in Hamilton and of cource, the Burg, Regards.
