1425 Broadway, Solomon and Rose Goldstein and family, about 1927

Dr. Hyman I. Goldstein on Atlantic Avenue looking northeast towards Broadway, about 1929

I have a feeling the time is about 1928/30, because the car is probably the same one he used in making medical calls around Camden. Sometimes he would take his kids and me in the back seat, which was loads of fun. Interesting to note, that when he made calls, he always wanted the kids to come along, and later, when I was older and visiting him, he would take me with him. During the depression, the city/govt. arranged for medical visits by doctors to the home and paid, I believe, $2 for each chit that the doctor handed or mailed into a central office.
