Remembering Lost Jersey Businesses is Fun History

Mr Local History loves history with a social twist. In fact, it’s our motto! So we thought how fun it would be to share some of the most loved New Jersey businesses that have disappeared. We started researching and putting our artists to work to recreate an offering of vintage retro clothing and accessories that honor the history of these great businesses we all remember.

The non-profit Mr. Local History Project has partnered with online retailer Tee Public, an internet-based company that prepares our artwork into several styles and products. They process and ship directly to you. We’ll continue to grow the collection based on your thoughts and feedback. So if you miss a place, let us know and we’ll see what we can do. MLH is a non-profit 501c3 organization with a mission to preserve and promote Jersey History with a social twist. Honesty we only make a $1 or 2 on each sale, so it’s more about promoting history and less about making money.

Each of the items are from actual advertisements we’ve researched back when they were in business. The addresses and telephone numbers are original from their time.

You Select Your Color

Our partner, TeePublic, allows you to customize your apparel, stickers, or pins from our retro collection. Apparel includes t-shirts, hoodies, and long sleeves in various colors and styles. Choose from over 20+ designs and dozens of colors. Click any image to see your ordering options.
