& Wilcox Customers
The War Years - Walter Marks & Charles Wilcox
owned a fuel storage business in Old Forge for many years. They also
operated the Pickle Boat on the Fulton Chain, a floating grocery store
that delivered groceries to the docks of camps and hotels. The following
list gives a rather compressive idea of the year-round fuel customers in
the Old Forge region at a time when many families left to find work in
the Mohawk Valley or went to live with loved ones when the head of a
household entered the military service. The local newspaper - "The
Adirondack Arrow" was never archived or microfilmed during 1942-1947.
