The Richard Napoliton Collection

Early Grocery Shopping, Wall, NJ

PICTURED HERE IS A VERY OLD TILTON'S GENERAL STORE THAT WAS LOCATED ON OLD
MILL ROAD AT THE INTERSECTION OF WALL ROAD, JUST SOUTH OF THE WALL CHURCH IN
THEN WHAT WAS WALL, AND NOW SPRING LAKE HEIGHTS.

THERE WERE NO BIG SHOPPING CENTERS LIKE SHOP RITE, A & P, OR K-MARTS,
THESE STORES HAD TO HAVE EVERYTHING THAT THE HOME OWNER NEEDED.

ONE BIG ITEM WAS DRESS OR CLOTHES PATTERNS AND CLOTH FOR MOST PEOPLE MADE
THEIR OWN CLOTHES BACK THEN, I AM SURE ONE REMEMBERS THE OLD TREADLE SEWING
MACHINE THAT GRANDMA HAD, THERE ARE STILL MANY AROUND.
