extensive stock of merchandise is constantly carried, which is of standard excellence, guaranteed purity, and
received from the best manufacturers and importers in the country. This stock includes the choicest selections of
Oolong, Japan, English breakfast, and China green teas, old Government Java and other coffees, which
for strength, delicacy of aroma, and purity are unexcelled, the best of creamery butter, and
the finest brands of family flour. He is also a dealer in California wines, and carries the
finest that are produced in that State. A large force of clerks and salesmen are regularly employed,
and the patrons of the house speak in the highest terms of the prompt and liberal treatment always
accorded them. Mr. Maas is a native of Germany, and a resident of this country since 1868."

September 30, George Appo a
"green goods" expert witness for the Lexow committee was stabbed in the throat.
It was not determined if the wound was self-inflicted or otherwise. In any event it was not life threatening.
Appo said he was attacked but there were a number of conflicting stories.
Police believed it was an attempted suicide.
The senior counselor for the
Lexow committee believed that it was an attempted assassination.
Appo was found wounded at Fred Baar's
North River Hotel, Barclay and West Streets.
Appo claimed he had been given "knock out drops". (New York Times)
The Lexow Committee was investigation the "green good" swindle
Green gods Swindle
In court Appo said that he went down to the North River Hotel yesterday to
serve some subpoenas for the Lexow committee. "While there I met the proprietor, Baar,"
continued Appo. "Baar's place was the rendezvous of the 'green goods' men. He used
to get $10 for every guy that was steered in there. Baar asked me to
have a drink. He wanted to open a bottle of wine but I took whisky.
Baar then asked me not to mention his place in any testimony I might give
before the Lexow committee. I had two drinks and then became dizzy.
The last thing I remember is seeing Reardon standing over me with a knife.
I did not cut myself and made no attempt to stab Reardon. The next thing
I remember was when they had me bound down in the Chambers street Hospital.
I wanted to free myself but one pf the policemen standing over me threatened
to gouge my eyes out. I have been a marked man ever since I was a witness before the Lexow committee."
...........
"Reardon and Baar repeated their storv of yesterday
that Appo went into the hotel crazy drunk end said his life was not worth $2.
He said he would show he was square by cutting his throat, and tried
to do so with a knife."

and a resident of this county for the past twenty-five years. He is connected with tammany Hall for the period of ten years, is a member of its
general committee and stands deservedly high in social and business circles."
A Souvenir of New York's Liquor Interests
By American Publishing and Engraving Co (1893)
Page 104 - Baar & Tauby, both born in Germany, were
proprietors of the "Florida" at No. 75 South Street, corner of Maiden Lane.
Owned by Fred Baar and Charles Tauby the Florida
served business men in the vicinity.
The back bar, front bar, walls and ceilings were of mahogany in "cabinet finish".
The floor was tiles. Fully stocked with the finest wines, liquors and cigars,
including well know whiskeys it als served lagers and ales.
*This must be an error. Fred Baar was born circa 1856 so would have only been 16 years old in 1872. |

In 1936, when he applied for his social security number, John Blanck was living at 1122 Hudson Street. In
1941, at the time of his marriage to Alice Azarian, John Blanck was at
1108 Washington Street.

"Seventh and Washington",
Hoboken, N. J.
Posted 1905
|
Mike Korman kindly pointed out that although this postcard
was labeled
"Seventh and Washington" it is really 11th Street. Mike says,
I believe that it is actually 11th and Washington. You can tell by the "islands"
in-between the east and westbound lanes of 11th Street. Plus you can see the old
Wallace School down on Willow Avenue. I went to that school and grew
up at 12th and Washington."
February, 2007
Comparing the buildings on the right side of the street in this postcard with the two previous
postcards indicates that Mike is correct.
Professor M. Loewy, the sender of this card, was engaged in postcard trading and stamp collecting as well as
being a magician and card trick performer. Professor Loewy sent another copy of this card to a collector, H. Ruberti
in Cape town South Africa in 1905. That image was shared by Hugh Amoore in June 2018.
Written on the front of the card: "Kindly escange (sic) with Prof. M Loewy." His return address was stamped on the address side of the card.
Note at the right lower corner of the card is printed "M Loewy, Hoboken".

Edward Foerster, Jr., Dealer in Leather and Findings, No. 80 Bloomfield Street.
An odd quarter of a century and more of unbroken prosperity marks the history of the popular and well-known establishment of Edward Foerster, Jr., manufacturer of and dealer in leather and shoe-findings; gaiter and shoe uppers, situated at No. 80 Bloomfield street (between First and Second streets), and which is one of the oldest, foremost, and best stocked concerns devoted to this branch of commercial activity in Hoboken. This neat and flourishing store was established in 1861 by Edward Foerster, who conducted it up to 1884, when he retired, and the business passed into the control of his son and successor, the pushing and prosperous gentleman whose name heads this sketch. The store and basement is 20x70 feet in dimensions, finely fitted up, and well-ordered in every respect, and a heavy and first class stock is constantly curried, comprising upper and sole leather of every variety, calf and kid, shoemakers' tools and supplies of all kinds, beeswax, thread, paste, brushes, blacking, oils, dressing, uppers, and everything comprehended in shoe-findings. Boot legs and shoe and gaiter uppers are also made to order in the most excellent and expeditious manner, no pains being spared to render the utmost satisfaction in every instance to customers, and the trade, which is of both a wholesale and retail character, is at once large and substantial. Mr. Foerster, who is a native of New York city, but has resided in Hoboken about twenty-six years, is an active and popular member of the Valencia Boat and Bowling Club.

"John Kamena & Co., Dealers in Coal and Wood of every description, Office and Yard, Nos. 172 and 174 Bloomfield Street.
In the handling and sale of coal and kindred articles of fuel an enterprising and noteworthy firm engaged in this line in Hoboken is that of John Kamena & Co., dealers in red and white ash coals of all kinds, also English cannel and bituminous coal and wood, which is by common consent one of the leading, largest, and most reliable establishments of the kind in the city. This prosperous enterprise was started in 1861 by the present senior member, who conducted it alone for twenty odd years with unbroken prosperity, when he admitted into partnership (in 1884) his nephew, W. L. Kamena, thus constituting the pushing and popular firm whose name heads this sketch. The premises occupied comprise a 62xl60-foot yard with an L extension 60x60 feet in dimensions, besides ample wharf facilities, foot of Fourth street, and a carefully assorted and huge stock (between three thousand and four thousand tons of coal) is carried, including Lykens Valley, Lorberry, and Schuylkill red ash, Lehigh, Schuylkill, and Scranton white ash, Cumberland coal for steam and blacksmiths' use, and English cannel coal, all thoroughly screened and cleaned, also kindling and fire wood of all kinds, sawed and split. Six or more hands are regularly employed, and five carts and one truck are in steady service supplying customers all over the city and suburbs, the trade being both wholesale and retail, and altogether, the business transacted is exceedingly heavy. Messrs. Kamena, who are natives of Germany but residents of this country many years, are both men who stand high in the community, alike as merchants and citizens, Mr. John Kamena having been the efficient and vigilant city treasurer from 1871 to 1875. His business requiring his sole attention, he, in 1875, resigned from politics and now gives his personal supervision to the many details of his business.

Mary Ellen Clark said: "The child pictured is my grandfather, Fred Braun,
and this bakery is owned by his father Adam Braun. My grandfather said that is was taken around 1912."
She gave the number of the business as #235 but did not know the street.
In the upper left corner is the sign for Monroe street and 235 is in the corner of the awning. The building still stands at the east corner of Monroe and 3rd street.
Aam Braun was born in 1897 and his son Fred was born in 1906.
