Picture East Windsor - Then And Now

EAST WINDSOR, CT — The latest installment of our new periodic informal series, highlighting businesses from East Windsor's past and what those locations look like today, brings us to a longtime staple of the Route 140 business corridor: Duplicating Methods.

The business, depicted here in an advertisement from the 1983 edition of the East Windsor High School yearbook, The Archive, appears to have been founded way back in 1965, and was owned and operated by the Schiavone family for decades at 170 North Road. The company specialized in sales and service of copy machines and office supplies.

According to town land records, the property was sold in fall 2015. The site is now home to LNK-CBD Products, described on the cover of its brochure as a "women-owned and operated cannabis empire."

Here is a more contemporary look at the property, taken by yours truly a few weeks ago.
