Where Our Burg Ancestors Worked
An Interior view of a work area inside the massive Roebling
Plant complex. Roeblings employed thousands in the Trenton
area. No Roeblings and no Burg as we knew it:)

HI MAC...ROEBLINGS AND THE CIGAR FACTORIES ARE WHAT KEPT CHAMBERSBURG ALIVE IN THE EARLY DAYS. DURING THE 20'S I CAN RECALL MOST OF THE WOMEN WEARING FACTORY SMOCKS AND THE MEN WALKING TO WORK. I DON'T REMEMBER SEEING MANY CARS AROUND, HENSE NO PARKING LOTS FOR THE BUSINESS PLACES OR WHERE YOU WORKED. HORSE AND WAGONS WERE STILL BEING USED AND YOU COULD SEE ARRANGEMENTS TO TIE UP YOUR HORSE. MY FATHER HAD A HORSE AND WAGON THAT HE KEPT ON A LOT WE HAD ON SO. OLDEN AVE. ANOTHER JOB YOU DON'T SEE ANYMORE ARE STREET CLEANERS, WE HAD A RELATIVE DOING THAT WORK FOR QUITE SOME TIME. THERE WERE VERY FEW IN THE BURG IN THOSE DAYS THAT WERE UNEMPLOYED.
Hi Ralph:)
Great post:)))
And by my Burg day jobs were in restaurants in the Burg, or working for the City,State or County, or working at one of the local malls, or perhaps at one of the Route One area corporations:))
