The sign on the left is for the Fun House. On the right it is for the Merry Go-Round.
The bottom sign says “Any person conducting himself in a manner not consistent with Palace Amusements will be decapitated.”
So it seems that Asbury Park didn’t tolerate having fun in the fun house back in the day. And as far as feeling merry on the merry-go-round, well who can be merry if they’re going round and round.
Milton Edelman was a photographer who liked to record life styles in Long Branch, A. Park, and Ocean Grove, and he loved to take pictures of girls in their summer clothes–ie bathing suits. I wonder if Uncle Milty would photograph the girls on the OG beach these days.
Here’s a link from our article earlier this month regarding Uncle Milty photographing girls at the OG North End.

And speaking of going round and round, here’s “Run Around Sue” by Dion.
