CORRECTION: Find
the readers of the OBSER-VER
are pretty sharp and
won't let errors pass by, even
though the statements go
back to the nineteen
hundreds! The photo pub-lished
last week of Cock's
Plumbing firm was on 64th
Front Street, but... Front
Street, Rockville Centre!
The old photo had been
donated to the Grist Mill
Museum a while back with
by Mildred Roemer
just "Front Street" marked
on the back. Oh well, we
don't mind giving R.V.C. a
plug once in a while.
