Hammonton's Midway Diner, seen in this 1960s photo, was named because of its location on the White Horse Pike midway between Philadelphia and Atlantic City.
The Hackettstown Diner on Route 46 is shown in a promotional photo from the 1950s. The diner burned down in 1996.
The greatest of all "Man -Made Wonders," over whose smooth surface millions have traveled since its opening. For three hundred and twenty seven miles not a stop sign traffic light - cross road or street no grade over three percent which instead of climbing over the peaks of the Alleghenies, dives through them in seven well-ventilated, well-illuminated tunnels. Throughout the entire length of the Turnpike Gasoline Service Stations and Restaurants are located on both sides of the roadway at staggered points. The Restaurants are most attractive and are operated by the famous Howard Johnson where good food can be obtained at reasonable prices. Pennsylvania's new super-highway, built largely on the abandoned South Penn Railroad grades and tunnels of 55 years ago is the largest four-lane divided highway in the United States. It is a high speed, all weather road with every latest safety feature and is deservedly popular because it is a time and money saver.
