THE SIXTH BLOCK OF THE TOUR (Jersey Avenue to Morris Avenue) West side of the block included: Horatio Clayton Real Estate, The Royal Elephant Shop, Davidson's Hardware, Alexander's, Casagrande & Raffetto Grocery, Myron Morris Real Estate and Insurance, Clayton's Garage, Meyer Lasky Tailor, Joe Sing laundry, and Crisanti Shoe Repair.

THE ROYAL ELEPHANT SHOP (Southern half of the Camel's Eye) This was a favorite with the kids of Spring Lake because it was a good place to buy toys and novelties. Almost every child invited to a birthday party in the 40's bought his gift at this shop. The proprietors were Mollie and Birdie and there was a white elephant in the corner with a big yellow bow tied around its neck. Tb shop here was an adventure for young Spring Lakers because the shop was dark, a little spooky, and filled with the scent of incense. Two black cats used to sit in the windows.

MYRON MORRIS REAL ESTATE AND INSURANCE (Fulton's Barber Shop) Myron O. Morris was Otto Morris's son and served as borough clerk for 38 years. Because he was the borough clerk, a lot of borough business was conducted in the real estate office.

JOE SING'S LAUNDRY (Samantha's #1205 Third Ave.) This was a popular Chinese laundry. Joe used an abacus to figure the bill.

CLAYTON'S BOARDING AND LIVERY STABLE Originally this was H.P. Brown's Boarding and Livery Stables. Brown's coaches met all trains and drove to Hastings Square (The Essex and Sussex). He also boarded horses. By the early 1900's it was Smith and Clayton's. Smith left the business and it became Clayton's in 1917. About thirty horses were kept at the stable for hire and there was a special section reserved for boarders. The carriages were newly painted and rubber tired and could be outfitted with experienced drivers in livery. Smith and Clayton's had the added attraction of Dr. Charles H. Perry, a graduate of the New York Veterinary College and School of Comparative Medicine, who had his office at the stable. According to a 1902 article in the Spring Lake Gazette, he was known for his thorough knowledge of horses and could treat other domestic animals as well. When the automobile became the popular mode of transportation, the stable became a garage. Because cars cannot be parked over night on the streets in Spring Lake, there was a need for places to store the autos that the wealthy summer guests brought with them. Hotel guests would use their cars to go out to dinner or to see a show and then turn in their keys to the main desk. The main desk would then call the garage to have the car picked up. Clayton's took care of the automobiles of the Shoreham's and Lakeview's guests. They charged $2.00 a night to store the vehicle and then returned it in the morning to the hotel. So many cars were stored in the garage that the drivers had to crawl out the windows because there wasn't enough room to open the doors. Clayton's also provided a taxi service which would pick up guests at the train station and then deliver them to the hotels. Three generations of Claytons have been at this location. Today the family has a limousine service. If you go into the garage, you can see the original timbers from the stable and the hay loft. Along the wall are many old tires from cars used years ago.

EVELINE'S (Freedman's #1203 Third Avenue) This coffee shop was a Mom and Pop store owned by Eveline and Manny. Because they didn't drive, they came to work each morning in a taxi. Most of the family was involved in the business. Their son Rick ran the counter and their grandchildren worked in the kitchen. Manny had come to this country as a young man from South America. He went to New Orleans and found a job on a ocean liner as a pastry chef. When the Voorhees bakery closed, Eveline and Manny decided that Spring Lake needed a place to get fresh baked goods so they opened their coffee and sandwich shop. Everything was home made, the soups, the pastries and the sandwiches. They picked a perfect location for their business, right across the street from the bus stop. Early morning commuters to New York would pop in for a cup of coffee and a homemade doughnut. Eveline's was famous for its doughnuts. Every morning at six, Manny would begin rolling out his doughnuts. Customers soon learned that if you wanted one of Manny's doughnuts, you had to get there early. Among the famous guests who savored Manny's doughnuts were: Dustin Hoffman, Julius LaRosa, Rex Reed, Joan Rivers, Telly Savalas, Suzie Linden, and New York Yankee ball players. There was a tiny, elderly woman who came in nearly every day. She always ordered the same thing; pea soup and a doughnut, and she always sat in the same seat. One day she came in to find her seat occupied by another. She went to the hack of the shop where she fumed and scowled. Finally, she decided that it was too much to bear, so she walked up to "her seat" and asked the man to kindly get out of it. The man politely moved across the aisle. The polite gentleman was Dustin Hoffman.

MORRIS AVENUE (West of Third) Morris was widened and paved in 1925 to double as a parking area for the business district. On the south side of the street there was Heights Garage, Conover Ford and Buick Dealership, and Dangler Plumbing. On the north side there was King's Bicycle Shop, an ice cream store, a candy store, the post office, Erickson Awnings, Harry Trainor Upholstery. The double brick house was for the chaffeur and caretaker of Ballingarry.
