GOOD MORNING GUYS AND DOLLS:
Happy Hump Day to all. Today you can celebrate these observances:
Potato Day - Fried, Mashed, Baked any way you like them day.
Spicy Food Day - I have my Mexican Lunch waiting for me.
Black Cow Root Beer Float Day - Stewart's Root Beer Floats, the best.
Speaking of sodas, back where I grew up we had a bottling company called Kerns Soda. They made the best sodas ever. I remember the wooden cases, bottles the size of the old Coke bottles, but the flavors they had were the best. Red Cream Soda, Root Beer, Orange and even their Ginger Ale was refreshing. We would open the bottle caps on the bumpers of cars. Us kids would go around and collect the empties and return them for spending cash at the local candy store. Now the candy stores in those day had all kinds of good stuff to choose from, one could fill that little white bag for 10 cents.
I hope you all have a great day, be careful out there and treat yourself to a soda and a piece of penny candy today. Found a picture of the old Kerns Soda.

Hi Joe:)
I see candy stores and shoe repair
places in decent numbers in my
city directories (57&63) but I remember that in my Burg day there
were few remaining.
I guess by the early 70s shoes
were cheap enough to go buy another
pair. Our "candy stores" were the
corner Deli's mostly in the 70s:)
Kerns Soda, YUM!!!
Mack: I remember Carl's on Beatty and Home Ave. for the candy, Saxman's mother and father owned it back in the 40's. I always remembered it as Carl's when I was growing up in the 5o's. I just read an article about crime in the Trentonian on-line outside Conti's Bar, some of the comments are really a sad note.
