In 1967 or 68, I made my father drive me from our house in Somersworth to the Siegels parking lot. I was a freshman or sophomore in high school. Not being too interested in politics at the time, I was there merely to stare in Newman's blue eyes. My recollection is that he was there campaigning either for Eugene McCarthy (D), or possibly Paul McCloskey (R), both of whom were running as anti-war candidates against Richard Nixon in the NH primary.

Myer Siegel opened the store around 1950 in a former auto dealership. At that time, there were very few large stores on the outskirts of town. He expanded the store toward the back over the years. In the 1960s, the store burned down and he built a new one on the site. That is the one in the photo above.
The Sawyer Mills Factory Outlet also opened around 1950, in unused space in Sawyer Mills. I loved to view the inside of old mills, and I was fascinated with this store. Over the years they expanded into more and more space in the mill, and also into an outbuilding. The store closed in the early 1980s and they converted the space to apartments. |
