This rich pictorial treasury documents the early times and ambiance of Queens, one of Long Island's westernmost counties and the largest borough of New York City.Over 260 rare photographs, carefully selected from public and private archives, recall "the good old days" in such communities as Maspeth, Ridgewood, Jamaica, Astoria, Jackson Heights, Forest Hills, Kew Gardens, Flushing, College Point, Whitestone, Woodside, Elmhurst, Corona, Bayside, Howard Beach, Richmond Hill, Woodhaven, and many other areas.
Included are vintage views of numerous landmarks and locales -- among them DeWitt Clinton's mansion (Maspeth); the 1655 Robert Coe House (Corona); Arbitration Rock, the traditional border between Brooklyn and Queens from 1660 to 1769; Pettit's Hotel in Jamaica (Washington really did sleep there in 1790); St. James Episcopal Church (1735) in Elmhurst; and Woodside (in one of the oldest known photographs of the area -- 1871-72). Also depicted are a cluster of more recent landmarks: Astoria Studios, the Whitestone Bridge under construction, the 1939 World's Fair, and much more.
Each fascinating photograph is accompanied by a detailed, well-researched caption, while a general Introduction vividly outlines the colorful history of Queens -- from its prehistoric glacial origins through a lengthy period of agricultural development that lasted from colonial times through much of the 1800s, to the twentieth century, when it acquired a largely residential character.
Compiled by two noted experts on Long Island history, this pictorial grand tour will be a must for residents of Queens, Long Islanders, nostalgia buffs, historians, and lovers of vintage photography.

Good Quality Cotton Rounds
Color: Ultra Soft, Size: 100 Count (Pack of 3)
I recently purchased these cotton rounds, and I couldn’t be happier with them! They are soft, durable, and incredibly gentle, making them perfect for my daily skin care routine. They don’t leave behind any lint, and they hold up well when applying toner or removing makeup.
One unexpected bonus is how great they are for my cat with skin allergies. I use the rounds to gently clean around sensitive areas, and the soft texture ensures I don’t irritate her skin.
Another huge plus is the value. The set comes with a generous amount of rounds for the price, which makes it both practical and economical. For anyone looking for versatile, skin-friendly cotton rounds that work for both personal care and gentle pet care, this set is an excellent buy!

Just Love These Little Pads
Color: Ultra Soft, Size: 100 Count (Pack of 6)
I use these everyday, at least twice a day and they are perfect for applying toner, etc. The little pads absorb liquid well so you don't use too much of something, or the liquid rolls off onto the counter, they fit perfectly on the ends of my fingers, they don't leave lint on my skin, and are thin enough to be used easily and well. They do not scratch my skin, they are not rough, and they don't stick to me. I use them only once and throw away. The price of them is reasonable and a box of them is always sitting in pantry. I've used them to applying antiseptic to cuts,, giving to my husband for dotting a razor cut, and as a protector inside a jewelry pouch. I just love these little pads.

Great cotton rounds and a great deal
Color: Ultra Soft, Size: 100 Count (Pack of 3)
What a great deal on cotton rounds. I use this daily to tone my skin and to remove my makeup. The cotton doesn’t break up on me and it doesn’t irritate my skin.
Definitely a great choice for your cotton rounds

Great Quality Cotton Rounds at a Good Price
Color: Ultra Soft, Size: 100 Count (Pack of 3)
I use these cotton rounds regularly with micellar water to remove my makeup, and they work really well. They’re soft on the skin and effective without feeling rough or irritating.
The amount you get for the price is a big plus. The rounds hold product well and don’t fall apart while using them, even when fully saturated. They make makeup removal quick and easy as part of my everyday routine.
There isn’t much to improve—they do exactly what they’re meant to do and feel reliable for daily use.
Overall, this is a solid product at a good price, especially if you go through cotton rounds often. I’d definitely repurchase.

Stitches Edges Indicate Quality
Color: Ultra Soft, Size: 100 Count (Pack of 3)
I like these ones because of the stitches edges. The cotton pad won’t fall apart or get everywhere because of the quality. Even if it’s soaked in product. Easy to use and store. There is a rough and smooth side. I use rough side more often.
