Shamokin Novelty Works
Shamokin Novelty Works advertised locks and hardware specialties, with bicycle and light-machinery repairs.
Shamokin Novelty Works advertised novelty hasp locks and specialties in hardware in the 1895–97 directory. W. E. Deibert was named as manager, and the printed address was 109 West Independence Street in Shamokin.
The same notice offered repairs to bicycles and light machinery. Manufacturing and repair work therefore shared a single advertisement: locks and hardware specialties appeared above a line inviting readers to bring in bicycles and machinery for repair.
