This series also contains property warranty deeds, bank documents, vehicle papers and operator licenses, and cards sent by customers of Lincoln Market when Ruth and Sol Mezey had a child in 1948. Finally, this series contains clippings of visitor and wedding announcements, clippings of Sol Mezey’s involvement with the Food Dealers Association, an ad poster for Lincoln Market, and a magazine article about the opening of Lincoln Market.

The Photographs series (1938-1988) contains wedding photographs and photographs of the family, the family store, Sol Mezey as a child and schoolboy in Bronx, New York, and of the family at Locust Lodge House.
