Here’s some interesting pawnshop history from the Jewish Times of South Jersey jewishtimes-sj.com:
In 1927 Irwin and Tillie Wood opened a pawn shop in Atlantic City. They catered to those who were in need of small sums of money and didn’t have access to a bank. Over 80 years later Wood’s Loan Office continues to thrive under the direction of Martin Wood and is one of only two licensed pawn shops remaining in Atlantic City.
