Throwback Thursday: Do You Remember...?

ENFIELD, CT — In this weekly series, Enfield Patch remembers a business or landmark in town that is no longer in existence.

Today we continue the new format of this column we recently instituted: old advertisements from local businesses in some 1970s and 1980s Enfield and Fermi high school yearbooks and early-1960s to mid-1980s telephone directories and newspapers (remember newspapers - those things people used to read in the morning with their coffee...).

Today we feature a 1971 telephone directory ad from Society For Savings, which was located at 800 Enfield Street, two doors north of town hall. The bank operated there for more than two decades until it merged with, and became known as, Bank of Boston Connecticut in May 1993.

Boston-based Sovereign Bank began operations at the location in 2000; the company changed names to Santander Bank in Oct. 2013.

Enfield Patch invites readers to share their memories in the comments section below.
