Turnback Tuesday visits J. J. Kennedy’s of Derby. The business started out as James J. Kennedy confectionary in Ansonia at 424 Main St. in 1896.
In 1906 his brother William T. joined the operation and they called themselves Kennedy Brothers. For whatever reason James moved and started his own location in Derby at 194 Main St. in 1907. The business lasted until 1909 when at that time James moved to Hartford.
This postcard was an advertisement for J. J. Kennedy’s and it views the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad line.

Thanks goes to the Derby Public Library staff for sharing interesting local history each week.
