Sally at the Mart
Our Gal Sal turns up from time to time in photos here at Remember When.
Here’s another one of Sally Starr, who is no doubt fondly remembered by many who grew up in the Philly area.
This photo was submitted by Pam Fanto of Lansdale, who writes:
“Recently I’ve been fortunate enough to get to know 79-year-old Phyllis Ludwig. She and I both share a great fondness for Sally Starr.
“Phyllis shared this photo of her late husband, Lin Ludwig, who was a Montgomeryville Mart security guard. This photo was taken in 1969 and Mr. Ludwig is to Sally’s left side holding, I believe, a stack of Sally’s photos to be signed.
“Some history Phyllis has shared with me is that the other guard in the photo is Jack. Also, Lin Ludwig’s son operated the shoe repair store at The Mart, Steve’s Shoe Repair, and Lin’s grandson also was a cobbler and now is a mason — Reds Ludwig.
“I think it would be fun for anybody in the photo to acknowledge who they are.”
OK, there’s the challenge. Do you see yourself in this photo snapped at The Mart in 1969?
Between people’s affection for Sally Starr — and Popeye and Clutch Cargo — and the good old days at The Mart, this photo is bound to have lots of fans.
Anyone want to fess up?

Are you kidding me??? Who doesn't remember shopping for school clothes at Robert Hall & shoes from Thom McMann? When I moved here in 1969 that was the ticket! Then we would go to the Mart for sticky buns. I never got clothes there because SANTERIANS was the better deal & they had wrinkle free clothes. Phyllis Ludwig also informed me that Lin Ludwig (in photo) had passed away 25 yrs. ago this year. Reds Ludwig informed me that his grandfather died right at the bar at the Mickey's Mouse Club. Lin Ludwig lived, breathed & protected The Mart til the very end! Wish I would of gotten the priviledge to meet him.
Sally has left behind some nice rockabilly tunes that were written for her by Bill Haley - ABC Rock and Rockin' In The Nursery.
