DescriptionSepia-tone photo of the exterior of the Husex Beverage Company, 510-512 Fourth St. with two of their delivery trucks, Hoboken, no date, circa late 1933-1940. 8" x 10" wide print; damaged. Photographer not indicated. Reverse is blank. The four men (including the one on the balcony) are not identified. View is northeast of the north side of Fourth Street between Jefferson and Madison Streets. At the right is 508 Fourth Street, F.J. Bartletta Hall, whose Georgian style facade features ornamentation and ironwork including a second floor balcony. Husex was a beer distributor. The trucks ("General Motors Truck") with their delivery men in uniform have painted lettering on the doors with the company name and address. Other side panels have the phone number plus their featured products: "Ale, Beer, Porter" and "Stegmaier's Gold Medal Beer." (Stegmaier brewery was in Wilkes-Barre, PA.) Each truck has a printed sheet (not legible) seen at the right side of the windshield. It can be speculated that this was a permit of some kind (perhaps a Treasury Dept. document; not a truck license as each one has license plates) and could suggest that this photo was taken not long after the repeal of Prohibition in March 1933 when the legal distribution of alcoholic goods was being re-established. No sign is visible on the building. Note also the freshness of the painted lettering.
