My mother worked in Dunhams right before they moved to Lawrence Township, I believe in the early 50s. Do you remember the Hawaiian Hut that was on Broad St. close to State & Broad? They sold all kinds of Hawaiian fruit drinks, along with hot dog's and Cases pork roll sandwiches. I used to cruse Trenton on Thursday night's looking at the girls until the cop's caught you going around for the third time. Then they would tell you one more time around and you'll be getting a ticket. I bet even the cops are scared to cruse Trenton streets now. Diesel

Trenton had one on East State ST where Dunham's State St door was- I sure miss the old days of Trenton- now I heard the State employees don't even want to go out for lunch because of the Gangs - Marie G

Maybe it was, I really don't know. But I do know that the one in Philly was Horn & Hardart. ----- Original Message ----- From: <Dotbnj7@aol.com> To: <NJ-MEMORIES-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, September 03, 2006 8:37 PM Subject: Re: [NJ-Memories] Remember The Automats > In a message dated 9/3/2006 8:30:52 PM Eastern Standard Time, > DieselDis@aol.com writes: > Jack, your right about that one but what was the name of the one in New > York > City? > ============ > I always thought the one in NYC was Horn and Hardart.

Don't know. Never went to New York until 1971 when I was on my way to Belgium.

Diesel, We ate alot of Spam at times, too. My cousin still laughs about the time my mother made spaghetti sauce with Spam in it. When my niece got married in July my brothers brought my one nephew a can of Spam and told him that was his meal. I said I had to borrow it and took my cousin a treat. He left his table to bring it to my mother as he knew who must have lost it. We all laughed. For my parent's 50th my one cousin had a silhouette picture done for them and on the shelf above the table is a can of Spam. But, I still like Spam after all of these years. Guess it grows on you.

I remember my mother telling me a story about a rag man who used to come down the alley behind her grandmother's house. Her grandmother had a parrot that know a lot of swear words thanks to the railroaders who boarded at her grandmother's house in Trenton. One day the Ragman came down the alley calling out "Rag's, Old Rag's," and the parrot called out "son of a bitch." Well, the rag man stopped his horse and knocked on my Great Grandmothers door and asked her to send out the guy who called him that. It turned out that she showed the Rag Man who it was, and they all had a good laugh. Diesel

Remember when the Automat was only a quarter? Those were the good old day's. I remember my Dad, and Mom taking me to Phila and New York City and stopping at the Automat's for lunch. Well, now there starting up again, see below. But, you can forget about the quarters.

For the past two day's I've had Case Pork Roll, a slice of onion, thin sliced Cracker Barrel Sharp Cheddar cheese melted on top with ketchup on a potato bun for lunch. Yummy yummy. The only thing I missed was a hard roll. But It's a sandwich worth dieing for. LOL Diesel

My mother used to make a similiar dish with Deviled Ham when I was little. She'd mix the deviled ham with mayonnaise and mustard and sometimes she'd stuff hard boiled egg halves with it. Quite good actually. My dad loved the stuff and she, not being the world's greatest cook, couldn't really screw it up very much. I haven't had that since I was in grade school. Mamie

OK, if Jack endorses it, it must be good. I have to admit I never ate Potted Meat before. I'll look for it this week end, and let you know how I like it.

Hi Ravyn, You did had me thinking there for a while, even though I still remember all the Spam we had to eat during the Big War, but when I got to the Miracle Whip part that did it. I'm afraid I have to go along with your husband Lee. But, I did love your poem. Diesel

THE RAGMAN Growing up in the city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania my first 15 years gave me many experiences suburbia kids would never have. Yes, I remember the Milkman delivering "Supplies" glass bottles of milk. The bread delivered by the "Friehoffier" truck, the iceman with the sign "ice never fails" on the side of his truck. (Mom would kid him, if ice never fails, why do I always have to buy more ice for our icebox?) The one that left the greatest impression on me (I was 9 or 10 years old at that time) was the "ragman". He usually wore a black derby, old brown torn clothes, unshaved and with a huge brown burlap bag slung over his shoulder. Stooped over from the weight he would cry "any old rags today? Any old rags today?" One of the rules in the families on the block was that the children must play in our block and not wander off. We lived on a one-block street that budded against the Belmont Elementary School; therefore we were able to play in the street. The girls would be playing Jump Rope, the boys playing stickball or marbles. Then the CRY "The ragman is coming, the ragman is coming". Hysteria would hit, the girls would start screaming and the boys would start running in circles trying to out scream the girls and all would run to their respective homes. I would run into my house and bound up the stairs to the 3rd floor to look out the window. With my heart racing and my legs shaking I would watch the feared ragman. As you see, the mothers on the block, in order to keep us playing close to home, told us that the ragman also collected kids in his burlap sack.
