Submarine Sandwich (1941)

[Bapopik at AOL.COM]

   Greetings from the public library in Wilmington, Delaware.  Now, I just gotta get back in time to adjudicate NYC parking tickets tomorrow.
   The Delaware History Museum and the Historical Society are located here, and they were worth the visit.
   The public library has a card file for the Wilmington newspapers for this period (1930s-1970s), but no interesting articles turned up.
   I checked Wilmington Telephone Directories for 1955 and there were TONS of sub shops!  Then 1949--still loads.  Here goes.
