1862 Schenectady Directory Edwards gas fittings
I’ll admit that I’m not sure whether “war prices” were a good thing when John A. Edwards took out this ad in 1862’s Schenectady directory. This was the golden age of gas lighting. But while he was fitting your pipes, you might as well get him to hang your door bell in the most substantial manner and at short notice. Door bell emergencies were nothing unusual to him.
Not sure, either, what the Old Stand was, but Centre Street in Schenectady is now Broadway, of course.
