ANOTHER WILD AD WITH A "CROTON CONNECTION"

Welcome to The New Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton--our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools--in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.

We love perusing old magazine ads---and it's even more fun when you stumble upon something with a Croton reference--HERE's A 1901 AD FOR CELERY KING, NATURE'S CURE--IT MADE A NEW WOMAN OUT OF CROTON'S MRS. KLEEHAMMER! Click on the photo. (And fyi, during 
the late 1800s and early 1900s, “patent medicines” were popular elixirs, salves, and pills. These so-called “cure-alls” claimed to ease a wide range of ailments....Some of the well-known patent medicines from that era included Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral, Old Dr. Townsend’s Sarsaparilla, and Paine’s Celery Compound)

You may also enjoy just a small sample of these other ads with a Croton connection--ONE day there will be a full index

New Castle’s West End Residents Upset at Proposed Water Protection Regs

A contingent of residents from New Castle’s West End expressed frustration last week that their property may be subject to new water-protection restrictions if the town agrees to a proposed multi-municipality agreement.

There are 102 properties that lie within the proposed Indian Brook-Croton Gorge Watershed Protection Overlay District in New Castle that also includes portions of Cortlandt, Croton-on-Hudson and the town and village of Ossining. It was first discussed in 2007 and 2008 as part of a conservation action plan proposed by New York State to help protect an environmentally sensitive area.
