The Center of Town
"[In the early 1920's] there were no stores on the bridge in Kew Gardens. There was one row of stores on Lefferts Boulevard consisting of Freundenburg and Spreckels Grocery and Delicatessen; Henry Blenderman, the butcher store; a hairdresser; a drugstore known as DeLaVerne's, and H.C. Bohack Company, a model store, since Henry Bohack lived only a short distance away."
