1938--VINTAGE CROTON POINT PARK AD--"PHOTOMATUM" BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY

Welcome to Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton--our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools, our houses of worship--in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.

We love finding vintage ads and it's even better when they have a Croton Connection.  Here's one from 1938---and BILLBOARD MAGAZINE---click on the image---for a business opportunity involving the rental of what was then a novel concept---the photo booth---at Croton Point park-----the term “Photomatum” appears to be a variant or possibly a misprint of “Photomaton”, which was the name of the original automated photo booth invented by Anatol Josepho in the 1920s. It was a coin-operated photo booth designed for public use and part of a broader wave of automatic vending and novelty machines that were booming in the 1930s.
