Summary
A scene from J.J. Newberry & Co. on W. Potomac Street in 1955. The customer was 17-year-old Joyce Bechtol. The clerk is believed to be longtime Newberry's employee Violet Kubat.
Owen Brown Unique smell probably from the wood floors, which creaked when you walked on them. Models and paint just to the right of a sloped section of the floor on the east side. Bought and built many of them.
Doris Kelley Barker i agree about the oily-like floors and the store smelling a little like them. My Wayne and Ernie Koogle used to work there after high school in the evenings, washing those floors—they were only 16 then.
Nancy Lincks Lewis Rosie Moss worked there as long as I can remember! Ms. Rosie she was a wonderful Sunday School teacher! She is the reason I know all about Jesus! We would sing Jesus loves me every Sunday! My Mom made sure we went every Sunday to the Lutheran Church in Knoxville for Sunday School.. I’ll never forget Ms. Rosie!
Rhonda Bechtol Taylor Yes… our sister Joyce Bechtol Myers.. love it!!
Smoketown History (Brunswick, Md.) Knowing there was once a movie theater on the eastern side of the building in the 1910s and '20s, I wonder if that hump or ramp led to it...Peter
