Bobbi At Work

After my maternal grandfather died in the early 1920's my grandmother, Dora Ferman, went back to work in this factory. She's the woman on the right. Apparently they were furriers. Prior to getting married I found my grandmother listed in the 1910 census as an operator at shirtwaist factory! Bobbi and me in 1949 Bobbi's favorite singer was Aaron Lebedeff

Nathan's House Furnishing On Catherine Street

A post Christmas present in my email box.

Just happened to stop in at Bob's on my way back to Martha's Vineyard; You might remember my grandfather, Nathans House Furnishing, on Catherine street, between Henry and Madison. NEXT to the Rug Place, NEXT to Savoia..., and of course CARVEL on their right;You know my grandparents would close down some Xmas times and get driven up to Boston by a guy named JOEY... Could never forget you guys...knowing Bob, Marty Sklar, Alan gave me an entree onto a paved playground with all you guys...who believed they were speaking 'ENGLISH'. Also the Submarine Sandwich...HERO, and where could you find a Pizza the size of a STEERING WHEEL for $1.00...I'm talking the 'OLD' car steering wheels. So I'm MIKE ZANE signing off

Mike must be referring to #27 Catherine, as #25 (Sweet Spring Restaurant) is where Carvel's used to be.
