Terlizzi Brothers, Inc. Folding YardstickDescription
Folding yellow yardstick from Terlizzi Brothers, Inc. The address printed on the yardstick is: 519 Millburn Avenue, Short Hills, NJ. The Terlizzi Brothers store was not recorded in the society's 1952 directory and first appeared in the next book in the collection, the 1960 directory, but at 42A Main. It is not known when they were at 519 Millburn Avenue, home to Chai Center Judaica in 2013. The last entry for Terlizzi Brothers was in the 1962 directory. The memento from that Millburn store led to online resources that noted that the Terlizzis were early local sellers of home air conditioners and other appliances. The Terlizzi brothers were Frank and his two-years-older brother Louis Terlizzi, both of whom lived in Bloomfield in 1930, at which time they had an electrical contracting business.
