The Maple Hill Dairy
Located on New Brunswick Road.

In the late 60's and early 70's, The Maple Hill Dairy was located 
where Woodbridge Center now stands.
Boyton Brothers is now located at 200 Jefferson St.

  1. Schantz & Eckert was located where the Harbor Lights once stood adjacent to the Ferry Slip if I'm not mistaken.
