My dad worked at that store on the second floor in the train dept. for eight years. He was technically the Lionel salesman, but sold all brands. He grew very fond of Marklin from working with them. He met a number of Hollywood celebrities in his job.IIRC, it was on the southeast corner of 5th Ave and 58th St. |

Talking about Martin's Paint, if you watch the Honeymooners episode where Ralph becomes the janitor (the one where he gets stuck in the pipes) you'll notice he's wearing a Martin's Paint hat.

It became a Nathan's and I believe now a Wendy's.Coincidentally, they had another one at the other end of Empire (Lefferts) at Utica Avenue. It had been a vacant lot and for about three years there was a sign that Orange Julius was coming. It never came and a Wetson's was built instead right next to the White Castle which is still there. Wetson's charged 19 cents a hamburger compared to White Castle's 12 cents. Wetson's was in NYC before the first McDonalds. There were probably at least 20 of them. |
