blackdog2 Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 My great grandfather and grandfather did the same thing from Conn to NYC it was a two day trip back in 1930s with Macks & Cadillac's for local deliveries . Some of the stories he told me with tax men making the front page of the WTBY Republican . He said it was good advertisement more business .

He said it was good advertisement more business .Probably dealt with my Grandfather, he had Oyster Boats in the L.I. Sound. Used his limos, taxis and garbage trucks in the North Shore Gold Coast for deliveries. Used the Oyster Bay / Sanford Ferry to make Conn pick ups.Funny if the all knew each other. When we tore down his garage in 1997 there was four 500 gallon tanks in the loft floor with piping to the outside.
