Description: Welcome to my listing for:Scranton / Mutual Life Insurance Company 1913 "Engel" Letterhead Having been involved in the jewelry business since 1890, Charles B. Engel operated a jewelry & “collateral loan bank” business that loaned money against “diamonds, watches and other valuables” (essentially a pawn shop) at 107 Lackawanna Ave, then in 1907 moved over to 217 Lackawanna Ave. in Scranton PA. In 1907,Engel added an optometrist service and installed a very large “lollipop” advertising clock on the sidewalk just outside the store. By 1910, Engel was running large display ads in the local papers featuring “Pre-Inventory” & “⅓ off sales” (the same gimmicks as used today, 100 years later:) In the 1940’s, radios were added to the stores offerings. In 1950, at the age of 82, after battling a long illness and after 60 years at his business in Scranton, Mr. Engel passed away at his home. This billhead is related to one of Mr. Engel’s suppliers.
