New Year 1943

Picture contributor: Bob Hawkins

Interior of one of Cliffside's groceries, a "Happy New Year" banner hangs from the ceiling. A long counter runs in the foreground, topped with 1943 vintage scales, cash register and other tools of the trade.
New Year 1943 – Hawkins Grocery, downtown Cliffside

From left: Wade Bridges, “Tubby” Hawkins, unidentified man, and Bobo Greene. How many products in the store can you identify and remember? Candy seemed to be in short supply, but it looks like they had enough snuff to last a week or two.
