Our great grandfather and grandfather had been cabinet makers and book sellers respectively, but created Bell Floor Covering in 1936 to answer Philadelphia's need for flooring. The cabinet shop opened at 1050 N. 2nd Street in the 1910s and adjacent book store opened in the 1920s. They were on the first floor and our family lived upstairs, everyone who could worked in one of the stores. At the time, 2nd street in Northern Liberties, was known as "Linoleum Lane", a bustling street full of flooring stores.
