Recalling John Booth Inc. BY ED E ROGERS FOR THE ADVANTAGE
When I was growing up in Carbondale, most families probably had dealings with John Booth Inc. That company seemed to do everything. They delivered milk, coal and ice, provided ready mix concrete and did general contracting work. The company was established by John Booth, an Irish immigrant who came to the United States in 1885. Booth died in January 1930, just a few months after I was born, but I have vivid memories of the company he established. Blue signs with white lettering proclaiming “John Booth Inc.” seemed to be everywhere. After their father’s death, the business was carried on by his sons, Charlie and Edwin. The entire operation was based in offices along “Booth’s Alley,” a private road leading from John Street to Salem Avenue. Offices, a truck scale, garages and a concrete batch plant were there. One of the first things I recall about Booth’s was the big, silver horse-drawn wagon delivering ice throughout the city. A man by the name of “Weed” sat on the front seat handling the reins from the team of horses that drew the wagon. A second man, I seem to remember it was Van Crandall, rode on a step at the rear and delivered the ice to customers. They knew who wanted ice by signs posted in windows of homes along the route. The signs had different numbers on each edge — 25, 50, 75 and 1.00. If the 50 was at the top, it meant a homeowner wanted a 50-cent piece of ice, and so on. The man at the rear would chop the required piece from one of the big blocks in the wagon, place it in a canvas carrier and deliver it directly to the icebox in the customer’s home. On a hot summer day, neighborhood kids used to follow the wagon, bound on getting chips of ice to suck on. The iceman always complied. Men who worked for the Hudson Coal Co. had to buy their home heating coal directly through their employer. It was always delivered by John Booth, Inc. usually in a truck driven by Monroe (Roe) Cox.
For many years Booths delivered bottled milk throughout the region. The glass bottles were capped with a distinctive silver foil device and the cream line extended below the neck. The milk came from a herd of cattle at the Booth farm at Finch Hill in Greenfield Township. It was processed and bottled there. I can remember the Booth milk delivery truck stopping at homes along Wyoming Street. I believe they went out of the milk business in the mid-1930s when the state started regulating it. For the contracting end of the business John Booth relied on chain drive, rear axle Mack trucks, the type that was credited with giving the manufacturer its famous bulldog identity. They survived long after Booth’s death. The senior Booth and his wife, Ellen, lived in a big house on Garfield Avenue where it met Wyoming Street. Mrs. Booth, who was known to the neighborhood kids as “Grandma Booth,” and son, Charlie, continued to live there after her husband’s death. Her other son, Ed; his wife, Esther, and their two children, John and Barbara, lived on the opposite side of Garfield Avenue just above Wyoming. One of our fondest memories was being invited to spend an afternoon at the Booth farm for a party thrown by Barbara or for just a day in the country. While the Booths haven’t operated the farm for years, it is still a landmark. Recent real estate classified ads in The Sunday Times listed properties that were near the “Booth Farm.” I was in Carbondale on a recent Sunday looking for one of those blue and white “John Booth Inc.” signs. The road through Booth’s Alley was blockaded so I couldn’t look there, but I did find one. An auction house in New Lebanon, New York, sold it at an online sale in 2016. There were three bidders; how close to the estimated value of $150 to $250 the successful one came wasn’t listed. I’m still surfing the internet to see whether one of those big Mack trucks shows up. They were awesome. Ed Rogers is a native of Carbondale and spent 70 years as a reporter and editor for regional newspapers. He frequently shares his memories of his home town with Advantage readers.

Low back pain can be tricky because often it sneaks up on you. The real cause of the pain you’re feeling right now may have happened months ago. It may have been such a small injury you may not have noticed it. Or maybe you felt a slight pain but it went away after a day or week so you didn’t think anything of it. But slowly, over the weeks or months, as you continued to do your normal activities, that old injury has secretly gotten worse and worse without you being aware of it. After a time, the straws slowly built up until one day they break the camel’s back. Maybe what finally put you over the edge was that heavy chair you tried to lift, or that time you bent over too quickly or any one of a hundred things. If you have been suffering with lingering back pain that just wont go away, I am here to help. Call Today. We have appointments until 6:30 and are also open on Saturday mornings. Czulada Chiropractic is open to help you six days per week.

Mom’s Easter Pie continues to delight

By Gia Mazur Staff Writer
aster Pie is a popular recipe here at Local Flavor. It seems that each Italian family has its own spin on the meat-, egga n d ch e e s e - f i l l e d p i e. And Rick Phillips’ recipe is no exception. Passed down from his m o t h e r, t h e l at e L e e Phillips, the dish was a staple dur ing Easter time while he was g rowing up in Scranton’s Tripp Park section. While Local Flavor has sampled Easter Pies filled with e ggs, ricotta cheese version, salami and ham, Phillips’ is a little different. He fills his with hardboiled e ggs, spinach, sweet sausage and provolone cheese. “You’ll see many versions of this, but like a lot of things (my mom) made, she used whatever she had on hand,” Phill i p s s a i d o n a re c e n t n i g h t i n t h e D i ck s o n City home he shares with his wife, Anne Marie. “This is the version I remember eating wh e n I w a s a k i d , s o t h at ’s h ow I m a ke i t . Just like her.” The recipe for Easter Pie is simple, Phillips said, and cooks should be sure to not overcook the sausage since it will b a ke o n c e a s s e m b l e d i n s i d e t h e p i e.

“You’ll see many versions of this, but like a lot of things (my mom) made, she used whatever she had on hand,” rick Phillips
spinach must be dry before being included in the filling. He recommended using frozen spinach since it’s already cut and stemless and will hold less water. “If she had it, she would add a little pepp e ro n i o r s o m e o t h e r kind of meat,” Phillips said. “She never let anything go to waste.” Even though its ingredients were different than Local Flavor i s u s e d t o, P h i l l i p s ’ Easter Pie was extraordinary. The sweet sausage held just the right amount of kick, and the extra-sharp cheese offset the leafy heartin e s s o f t h e s p i n a ch . The hard-boiled e ggs
gave a perfect amount of flavor, and the tastes were all wrapped up in the most ideal buttery and flaky crust. Phillips’ knack for cooking is a familial trait. He comes from a family of Local Flavor winners, including his s i s t e r, L i s a S c h o e n , whose recipes for Holid ay S p i c e d N u t s a n d Pe pperoni & Zucchini Ragu (also a long-cheri s h e d re c i p e o f t h e i r mom’s) ear ned her the contest’s top honor in 2017 and 2010, respectively. Aside from his inkitchen skills, the Midvalley man also is known as the grill master by his wife and their three g rown children, Gina, Drew and Tara. Phillips experiments with dry rubs to try out on ribs and makes everything from mussels, clams and assorted vegetables to Beer Can Chicken on the grill during the warmer months. Though his mom never wrote down a single instruction, Phillips and the rest of the family continue to make her specialities, such as Spaghetti and Tuna Fish or any of her homemade sauces. Her memory lives on through these recipes that give loved ones the chance to share time together at the dinn e r t abl e — wh i ch i s what any Italian mom would want.
