Trenton NJ Fire Alarm Information
« on: December 22, 2001, 03:34:11 AM »
This listing was published on the back of an advertising trade card for "The Hub Clothiers and Furnishers" South Broad ' Front Streets Trenton N.J.  Listings of box locations on trade cards and city maps was fairly common in the late 1800's and through the early part of the 1900's.

Most of the 49 boxes listed are located at factories or public buildings.  There are also boxes listed at the Union; Delaware; Eagle; Ossenberg Hose; America Hose; Mutual; and Liberty Engine Houses.

Box 8219 at Warren & Ferry St.  

There are 2 others cards that I have that are from the same set.  
Box 8125 - Bloomsbury St. & Drummon Alley
Box 8153 - St. John's Parochial School Broad St. & Centre St.  
If anyone can confirm that these are from Trenton I would appreciate it!

It sure looks like a Trenton box card to me.

Warren and Ferry intersect near the Delaware River.

That's definitely a Trenton box card.  I've got 6 or 7 and I'm always on the lookout for more.

Trenton fire stuff is hard to come by!
