L. NAJULIS SALOON
751 Ferry Avenue
Northwest Corner of Ferry Avenue & Kossuth Street

This bar appears in the 1888-1889 Camden City Directories as being operated by a William Brown. The 1890 Directory shows F. Joseph Rouh as the operator. The bar stayed in the Rouh family through the summer of 1910. Ludwig Najulis was the proprietor by 1914. Ludwig Najulis, who had emigrated from Russia, sold the bar to the Jakubauskas family in July of 1919 after a fire. Ludwig Najualis and his wife Urszula were still living in Camden as late as 1930. They lived oat 2124 Miller Street in 1923. Ursual Najulis died in 1938, Ludwig ten years later. They were both buried at Calvary Cemetery in what was then Delaware Township (present-day Cherry Hill), New Jersey.

By 1946 Victor G. Anderson owned and operated the bar by the 1940s, which was known as the Anderson Tavern. The bar and surrounding prperties were taken and razed to make room for the Roosevelt Manor public housing project in the mid-1950s.  Victor Anderson then purchased another bar in the next block at 852 Ferry Avenue, which he operated into the early 1970s.
