Rose's Beer Token
probably late '70s

The pharmacy was part of Dales, a store that opened in the summer of '66 on Brunswick Circle.
Dale's closed in the mid- to late-70's. Today the N.J. State Lottery offices occupy the site.

In an amazing transformation, what was, in the Dales era Trenton, NJ has today become Lawrenceville, NJ, according to "location" information on the State Lottery's web page. Another example of the area's aggressive de-Trentonization over the last 30 years.
