Mr Local History loves history with a social twist. In fact, it’s our motto! So we got to thinking, how fun would it be to share some of the most loved Westfield, New Jersey businesses that have disappeared? We started researching, then put our artist team to work to recreate an offering of vintage retro clothing and accessories that honor the history of these great businesses that we all remember.
The Growing Selection
We just keep remembering and then say, “We have to add that one….” Check out the selection!

The non-profit Mr. Local History Project has partnered with online retailer Tee Public, an internet-based company that prepares our artwork into a number of 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 item is from 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 150 MLHP designs and dozens of colors.
