Hi Mack: That sure brings back memories. My girl friend lived next door at 13 Howell Street. The lot next to her house was vacant at the time. DeFranks did most of their work at 11 Howell. We were married there in 1940 and lived with her parents for 6 months. The lot had a big barn and was used by Bartolino to store glass. I remember Tony DeFrank well and praised him for his trap shooting trophys. I imagine his son operates the business. Regards.

Ralph: I met Mr.DeFrank through Ralph Arnell who owned Ace Welding. I was dating his daughter Peggy until she passed away in 1975.He also was into trap shooting. My parent purchased all their appliances from DeFrank's.
