Beitzel's Bar Matchbook Cover
841 Genesee Street, Franklin Park.
The cover says "Rudy, Roland, & Pete"
This place was The Golden Slipper from at least 1957
thru most of my Burg days. So this matchbook cover is
quite old. Does anyone remember this place when it was
Beitzel's?

Well, it has to be before 1950. Back then we had 7 digit numbers and that is a five.
Our number when I was a kid was Export 60037.
That also pegged that I came from the North side of town. There was also Owen (OW), that put you in Lawrence. Tuxedo was West and I'll be darned if I can remember what the Burg was. You could carry a number so it was not etched in stone however.

My buddy was, like Tome Glover, the historian for Trenton. He said that Scott-Taylor Pharmacy later at Olden and Spruce was originally in the State & Broad area and they had the first phone in Trenton with the phone number being #1.
I remember a tour of the old Bell Tell building where many ladies worked and each call had to be connected by a hand plug in. And there was "yes operator I would like to call collect" or "long distance".
