We have several old postcards that are over a century old, the accepted age of something that is an antique. However, these modern chrome postcards are getting up there.

Just posted these four scans; three are in the Riverton Businesses, Organizations, Public Buildings and one is in the Palmyra, NJ Images section.

Hoeganaes Sponge Iron Corp. is the only postcard that has a date.

Can a car buff date that Caddy at Roger Wilco or any of the autos at Richard’s Restaurant? The phone number for Roger Wilco listed on the back is RIverton 9-1400. – JMc

Roger Prichard: Thanks! Richards Restaurant is today’s Whistler’s Inn, I’m guessing?

Thanks to HSR member Roger Prichard for his suggestion on our Facebook page that Richards Restaurant is today Whistlers Inn. Although enlarged and transformed, it sure looks like it. My mouth is watering for Whistlers’ Smoke House BBQ ribs. The postcard shows a Route 130, Riverton address, and Whistlers gives a 901 Route 130 Cinnaminson address.
