Welcome
to Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton--our history,
our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools--in short, EVERYTHING
CROTON.
Here's an interesting item one of the elves found from
the 1933 Citizen Register--an ad for a Croton and Harmon NRA
Parade--not to be confused with the National Rifle Association.
The NRA
in this case stands for the National (Industrial) Recovery Act. The
National Industrial Recovery Act is widely considered a policy failure,
both in the 1930s and by historians today. You can read more about it here.
But in the meantime, click on the ad--divided into three parts for more
detailed viewing--to see assorted Croton and "Harmon" businesses of the
day. And since the Harmon Sweet Shop is mentioned, you may also have
an interest in reading more about them here.
