I think every NJ resident here can say that they look forward to looking at this thread! This history here is just amazing. Thanks for sharing and I'm glad you decided to stay aboard.
Great stuff! Thanks for sharing. Was raised in South Jersey, so never got to see any of these. I used to chase the Wards around Maple Shade on my bike 50 years ago!
Found this shot at my station... Might have been from a sales rep back in the 50's... I am not sure. Anyway it shows Trenton's Four Wards setting at Fire HQ on Perry Street.
