Today, finally, I received in the mail the matchbook cover that I had ordered weeks ago via eBay. Originally I had been sent the wrong one, but now I have the correct one, and it is in fairly good condition. It looks just like the photo I put on one of my web pages. Yep, it is a matchbook cover for my paternal grandfather’s “hotel” on 213 E. 3rd St., in S. Bethlehem, PA. Given this matchbook cover, one would think that my grandfather’s place was possibly a house of ill repute – booze and women. Of course I know that it was primarily a restaurant, with a bar in the very front. I do not know if it was ever used as a real hotel – a place where one could rent a room for the night.
