Two area phone books from the Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Company, one for 1946-1947 and the other for 1950-1951 with yellow pages ads for three Trappe businesses: A. E. Ornett & Son feed and grain, Douglas Sullivan's grocery store located where the Shore Stop is today at the light on Rt. 50 and Thomas's Junk Yard which was the first Trappe business owned and operated by blacks. It is the only one of the three still in business and is on Rt. 50 just north of town.
