Description

Postcard of image #432, from the centennial collection looking east on Millburn, Avenue. The building in the right side, with the Ballantine's Beer Sign is the Millburn Hotel. The store located at what is now 344 Millburn Avenue, was run by the McCollum Brothers (William E., William W. and William H. McCollum) and sold groceries and dry goods. The postcard is postmarked Millburn, 1958 and addressed to Mr. A. Ross Meeker, 82 B Woodland Road, Short Hills, NJ. Message on verso reads: "Happy Anniversary Millburn Centenial (sic)1958." Another note in pencil reads: This card from George Bauer. I do not want it back." The postcard has an undivided back and was probably printed much earlier.
