Time Machine: 90 years ago this week in Pocomoke's newspaper; 1914, 1942, 1937, 2003.

An archived edition of the Pocomoke City newspaper for 100 years ago this week was not available. The following is from this week in 1934.

PPE note: Pocomoke area seniors will recall from their childhood days going up the long flight of stairs from the Coffman-Fisher balcony to visit the large Toyland display on the second floor.

Coffman-Fisher had the local franchise to carry Boy Scout and Cub Scout uniforms, supplies and accessories. The local Boy Scouts were Troop 143 and the Cub Scouts were Pack 143.
