http://www.midyork.org/oneida/OPL_LOCAL_HISTORY/OPL_JAZZ_AGE.htm Go to this link and you'll see a photo of Powell & Goldstein, a cigar factory in Oneida in the 1920's. Herma

I also found a reference to an article about the Powell & Goldstein factory: Hubbard, Russell G., "Smoke Rings from the Past: A History of the Powell & Goldstein Cigar Co., " Madison Co. Heritage No. 11 (Jan. 1982) pp. 1-10. I don't have the article though. Herma

Thanks for reminding me. It was, of course, the Powell and Goldstein factory.Tthe Goldstein house (almost a mansion) still stands and among the later owners were people with $. Doctors, etc. They used to entertain with dances, etc in the upstairs ball room. "The big three" of such houses that I know of were that one, the Chapel house (across the street from where I grew up), and my only "rich" relative's house--Will and Ada Page Stone.

Thanks for that link. As I was looking over those great old photos, I kept thinking... if a malpractice lawyer saw these pictures, he'd be drooling - especially over the one of the toboggan slide... John
