The old days

I was idling going through the archives of a volunteer group I belong to and spotted a Chester County Day newspaper from autumn 1968. It was like going back in a time machine! Phone numbers had letters as prefixes. There were ads for the Farmer in the Dell restaurant, Betty's Ice Cream, Jimmy John's, the Black Angus, and the Yellow Bow, a charming little craft shop that used to be right across Strasburg Road from the Four Dogs in Marshallton. There was even an ad for the (soon-to-be-closed) Brush and Palette back when it was on North Broad Street in Kennett.
