Petey’s Films • Manville Businesses part 2

Hey all just wanted to continue with the Businesses portion of the Petey’s Films. This one focuses more on the storefront aspect of local stores and such. This one is a great street level view of the young towns thriving shops. Most of you will have heard of some of these places. Enjoy.

  1. That’s pretty sweet… I didn’t know Kulina’s was on Washington at one time — when I was a kid, they had the store on Camplain by 12th Ave.

    The last store, with the 2 men and boy in white aprons, looked to me like the store on the corner of S. 11th & Washington — we knew it as Jake’s Market.

    If anyone knows where the other stores were and whether the buildings are still standing, it would be great to hear.

    • I stopped in at Kulina’s on Camplain Rd on many of my walks to/from Camplain Rd School. Most times with only pennies and nickles in my pocket.

      • Ahhh… Swedish fish? Penny-a-piece.
        Bazooka bubblegum? Penny-a-piece.
        Ten cents for a Hershey bar.
        (am I dating myself?)

    • Mr & Mrs Kulina worked for Jake Wirzman at Wirzman’s meat market. On south and Washington Ave. The building is still their.

  2. We totally enjoyed viewing Manville in the old days and were so surprised o find the film of
    the first flower shop in Manville which belonged to my mother and father, Mary and Andy Budai. Thank you for all of your efforts in putting this all together. We certainly enjoyed it.

  3. My husband’s parents, Mary and Andy Budai, owned the first flower shop in Manville and we were surprised to see them in the film. It is the only picture we saw of them during that time period. We really enjoyed this site and reminiscing and exploring Manville in the older days, Thank you for all of your efforts in putting this website together and sharing with everyone!
