I’m trying to decipher the name of the business underneath and it looks like a name that ends with -TON Bros. Still looking for archival photos and newspapers from Frenchtown.

UPDATE: From Rick Epstein to Iman Abdulfattah on May 30, 2020

Iman,
I stumbled across your fading ads from Frenchtown and I can tell you about those businesses:

The words under Miller’s 5 & 10 are BRITTON BROS. The Britton Bros Big Brick Store was the biggest department store in the county from the 1890s through the 1920s.

The newspaper that was advertising on its exterior wall was the Hunterdon Independent (1871-1942) which was a weekly.

I can tell you more if you want.

PS: I’m collecting info for a historical encyclopedia of Frenchtown. If you have any info to share, I would appreciate it.

Iman Abdulfattah to Rick Epstein: On June 7, 2020

I took those photos several yeast ago. I am afraid I do not recall the occasion or why I was in Frenchtown to begin with. In any event, I don’t have any additional details to share and I am afraid that images were lost when my external hard drive crashed two years ago.
Yes, I would love to know more.
Peace, Iman
