Summary

A vintage ad for Orthophonic Records and Victrolas from longtime Brunswick business H.R. Mace & Company. According to the Maryland State Gazetter, the company featured these items from 1909-11 and probably later.

One-time Brunswick Mayor Harry R. Mace (1932-1938) sold furniture and other household items on the first floor at W. Potomac Street where King's Pizza operates today.

Mace got into the business working for his father Thomas Mace's furniture store at 207 E. Potomac Street where Moler's Food Market operated from 1957-1990. Following the elder Mace's death, Harry took control of the retail business and moved it to W. Potomac Street where he ran the business until his death in 1954.

One of two furniture stores in town just a block away, if Mace didn't have something in stock that a customer wanted, he'd contact supply houses in Baltimore, have selected items invoiced to him, and give the buyer a discount.

Please feel free to share memories or information about this key former Brunswick business. How was it different from Potomac Furniture?
