That is a fascinating drink menu, serving everything from Courvoisier to a glass of Muscatel. I wonder what the full course $1.00 Sunday dinner consisted of.

A Hubbard 7 phone number, when Hackensack was served by the Hubbard 7,8 and 9 and Diamond 2 and 3 exchanges both located in the State Street Central Office. In the days when a person's telephone number gave away where they lived.
