That old go-getter himself, Wilfred "MAC" MacDonald (circa 1930's)

And here's where he, with his brother Charles, began distributing

the new  "Jacobsen Power Lawn Tools" from Weehawken, NJ to

local dealers who in turn sold the equipment to home owners.

The Weehawken location also served as the "Factory Warranty Station"

where equipment owners could visit for parts & service.

from the founders of the Jacobsen Manufacturing Company of Racine Wisconsin.

Mac and Charles kept their business "in the black"

throughout the Great Depression (not to mention a few wars).

The business at 3800 Park Avenue, Weehawken continued

to expand, but the building itself wasn't getting any bigger, so in

1962 Mac took his business a few miles west to roomier quarters

at 340 Main Avenue Clifton

to be continued......
