A call back in time- another page

 

(1936)

(PPE note: On arriving at an out-of-town destination it was a common practice to avoid a long distance phone charge by calling home and asking for yourself as a signal that you had arrived at your destination and not actually completing a call.  Therefore, the phone company's "report charge" as noted above.)

We'll have more views from time to time of the old phone book pages here at The Pocomoke Public Eye.

Time Machine: 100 years ago this week in Pocomoke's newspaper, 1938, 1953, 1894, 2005.

 

                                      

                                                                                                        

                                                                     

                                               

                                                                                                

Note: News was rather light in the local newspaper 100 years ago this week.  So we checked the newspaper date for 85 years ago and found an item that received a lot of local interest- the dedication of the new Post Office on Market Street.  The dedication was on a Thursday and the weekly Worcester Democrat then published on Friday.  Because of the short time span the news article couldn't make publication until the following week's paper, May 20, 1938 (below).

Footnote: While we weren't able to locate follow-up articles, we know (and some of us remember) that American Stores did build an ACME at the site and it was in operation for many years.  Anyone recall about when the store closed?
