Illustrated and Descriptive Newburgh (1906):
JOHN SCHOONMAKER & SONS
JOHN SCHOONMAKER & SONS IS UNDOUBTEDLY THE BEST PLACE TO BUY DRY GOODS
According to the best obtainable information there is no other stock of Dry Goods so large in any retail store between New York and Albany. As a buying and selling organization this store ranks with the best. Probably no store in a city of the size of Newburgh in the United States sends its buyers to the New York market so often. John Schoonmaker and Son average about two buyers a day in the New York market for every business day in the year.
I remember the store as a child during the mid 60's and shopping with my parents. It was a shame the store went out of business in the late 60's or early 70's.
