A Blog about the Chambersburg area of Trenton NJ. The Burg we all loved and miss. If you were from the Burg I hope many of the pictures and lists and comments under them from good folks bring back some nice memories. Villa Park, Franklin Park, South Trenton, and nearby Hamilton also mentioned. Use the search box atop the blog to find schools,churches,streets,stores,bars etc that you remember. Over 4000 posts and 3000 pics. Enjoy:)

HI MAC; I DON'T BELIEVE THOSE GIRLS WORKED AT THE DIVISION ST. CIGAR FACTORY, WHERE THEY ALL WORE BLUE SMOCKS THAT SMELLED LIKE TOBACCO. I RECALL MY MOTHER AND OTHERS COMING HOME FROM A BLOCK AWAY. FOR THE GIRLS IN SOUTH TRENTON AND CHAMBERSBURG IN THE 30'S IT WAS THE DOLL FACTORY AND THE TWO CIGAR FACTORIES THAT KEPT THEM WORKING. BEST REGARDS.
Hi Ralph:)
The girls in this picture worked in
a Cigar factory that was once located where the A&P was on Beatty Street:)
I thought the cigar factory was on Virginia and Grand? I lived acrodd the street on Virginia for 30 years. Also thought the doll factory was on corner of Grand? I remember finding doll pieces as a kid walking home from school or when sneaking in to the bldg. lol
There was more than one cigar
factory in the area in the 1930s.
Wow! I did not know that! Thanks for the info :)
Wow - I actually think I see a relative in the front row. I love old pictures. Angela Debronzo-Zigrandn (angie0923@hotmail.com)
