Great to hear about the history of the dealership. I was a salesman from 1974 to 1983. Over the years I worked with Clem Asbury and Leslie Balin. John was always very nice to everyone who worked with him. Some of the challenges were the limited parking and no AC in the showroom, but somehow it all worked.

We owned Hawke’s Village Hardware directly across the street from Werring’s and purchased a truck from them during that time. John Werring and his employees were good folks!

I worked in the parts department from 1977 until 1980 under Harold and Tom Magee, John Werring was a true gentleman and a great boss! He always had caring attitude towards his employees and that migrated to how his customers were treated by the employees. I sure do miss working there, great little town, everyone was considered a good neighbor and friend. Very nice article about local history!

Eileen Wall Mundorff wrote It was also a place to go vote because I remember my mother working the polls in the 50s since Tuesday was her day off from Salmon’s 5&10 on Olcott Square in Bernardsville. People could vote and shop for new cars! Win-win for Werring!
