The Greek-American Confectionery Company – 1911

GREEK-AMERICAN CONFECTIONERY.

One of the well known, old established, and well patronized confectionery establishments in the city is the Greek-American Confectionery which is located at 236 DeSiard street. This is one of the best places in the city to come for home-made candies, etc. A full line of chocolates and a general line of high grade candies are carried. A specialty is made of ice creams and nut confections, and they can take care of an order of any size. This is especially convenient to those residents of Monroe who entertain a good deal for after giving their order for ices to the Greek-American Confectionery Co. they need not give it another thought for it is sure to come up in the most satisfactory condition at the proper moment.
They also carry a finely selected stock of fruits.

I had never heard of the above business before stumbling across the above photo and article. Sounds like a great place to take a date on the weekend! A George Vambis was listed as the proprietor of the establishment in the 1912 City Directory. That must be him in the above photo.
