Title: Truck from The American Laundry, Church St 1920s

Seller's description:

Here we have a 5" X 7" photograph by an unidentified photographer, one of several we have acquired. We see a delivery truck, not sure of the make, newly built for The American Laundry of Hackensack, New Jersey. As you can see there is a plaque stating, "Built" by John Van Den Berg & Sons of Hawthorne, New Jersey. We have found information indicating that Van Den Berg worked in Hawthorne in the late 1920s.

This photograph has nice detail and decent contrast but suffers from some physical damage. It is missing a 1 1/4" by 3/8" piece from the lower right edge, a small bit of the upper edge and has several emulsion cracks.


For some reason, "Church St" is not ringing any bells (pun intended) with me. Is it the southernmost block of Moore St?

Yes, the southernmost block (or two) of Moore is actually Church Street.
