BACK IN TIME: Flowers by Telegraph in Englewood, 1933 - Pascack Press & Northern Valley Press
Sunday, July 05, 2020ENGLEWOOD, N.J.—Years before anyone could go on a florist’s website, browse photos of pre-designed arrangements, and pop in a credit card number, there was a method of ordering that seems pretty foreign to us today—the telegraph. Peter Duff & Sons, an Englewood florist, was a member of the Florists Telegraph Delivery Association. The accompanying advertisement for Duff’s is dated to Valentine’s Day of 1933. Florists Telegraph Delivery Association—which still exists today under the familiar acronym FTD—became the country’s first flowers-by-wire service in 1910. It enabled a customer to order flowers by telegraph, using local florists in the recipient’s area to fulfill the order on the same day. Another interesting part of this ad is the old style of phone number: Englewood 3-7500. In those days, connecting to another person’s telephone required the help of an operator. Peter Duff first opened his flower business at 154 Tryon Ave., Englewood, back in 1920. He kept greenhouses on Tenafly Road.

Around East County: Don’t forget area small businesses still open - East Bay Times
Sunday, July 05, 2020Some businesses, like local bars and restaurants are becoming creative with curbside deliveries, others like local florists are able to continue taking online orders and make deliveries but can’t have people come inside their stores to pick out their own flowers. For restaurant and bar owners that means coming up with a new routine for getting their food out to their customers. For Bethel Island’s Tugs owner Joni Fragga-Pratt, it meant changing how they do business altogether and bringing their staff down to just one person.Tugs is a popular restaurant/bar on the island. The restaurant side of the business offers a full menu of sandwiches and burgers, which under the county health department’s order has allowed Fragga-Pratt’s business to remain open. Even so, Fragga-Pratt acknowledges that “this is the worst thing we’ve ever experienced in 18 years of being in the restaurant business.” After working to unravel the health department’s temporary codes, it was decided that Tugs could offer a takeout system that had one employee on staff taking orders, cooking meals and delivering the food curbside for takeout.While Tugs does well with food orders, the big draw for the community is the bar and nightlife. That part of the business is completely closed down until ... https://www.eastbaytimes.com/around-east-county-dont-forget-area-small-businesses-still-open
