By 1936 William Dischert had acquired the business, and he was still there as late as 1951. In that year the license was transferred to  Edwain S. Klein and Martha Heron Phillips Klein, of 3022 North Constitution Road, and the bar was renamed Stewart's Toby Tavern.  The Kleins were the licensees as late as the spring of 1955, but parted ways soon afterwards.

By June of 1957 Edwin S. Klein was no longer a licensee. Martha Phillips retained the license, with the bar having been rechristened The Corner. The 1959 New Jersey Bell Telephone Directory shows the bar as Toby Stewart's Tavern. Martha  Phillips was still the proprietor when she died in 1969 .

571 Haddon Avenue and all but a few of the buildings on the 500 block of Haddon Avenue were razed shortly afterwards to make way for Interstate Highway 676.
