I remember them. I think they had a location on Brainerd Rd. also about where Talley Rd comes into Brainerd Rd.  Nice little find. I think those were made in the early '60s because of the phone numbers started with  letters MA for Madison etc. My phone # was MA- 26205.

That is cool.

I was digging through an old box of stuff from my grandparent's estate a couple of days ago.  Found all of their old slide stuff, along with the 2-ton still functional Kodak projector.  Found a bunch of cool old images of my dad, aunt, and uncle growing up, as well as my grandparents.  My favorite pic so far is one of my dad, circa 1963, riding his late 50s Schwinn Bike (which i refurbished a couple years ago, he still has it), My uncle on his, riding down the driveway of their house in Red Bank.  In the open garage door you can see the back end of their red '63 Ford and the Yellow and White 56 Ford.  I love finding cool old stuff.   8)

 I love stuff like .  Treasure's indeed.  I did the same thing when I moved back into my parents house 1975. I was raised there. I found a lot of 16mm movies and the projector which works well. My Dad was the movie Guy and I have hours of film both in color and black/white of my parents ,grand parents,uncles & aunts. A lot of these were shot in the mid '30s when color film was just getting started for home use. It shows my brother and his model A and my Dads new '37 Ford even me when I was a little fart. I have the prewar German Agfa 16mm camera that still works like a champ. Also found boxes and photo albums of still shots that My Mom took with her trusty Kodak 116 folding camera which is also in perfect condition .Some of the black/white was stuff was shot in the mid 1920's. Classic stuff.  What fun. ;D ;D     ( also 8 zillion 35mm slides and Argus projector)

At one time was working on getting those movies transfered to DVD's  but I ran out of funds. Some of those oldies were a little brittle .  Thanks to finding the film splicer in the pile I was able to put them together when they broke.

It is amazing what you can find when you get into old places.  My grandmother has an attic that has all sorts of things like this.  I have considered taking off one afternoon to dig through all the boxes.  I am hopeful that I will find some things and be able to post them on here for you guys.
