Local Grocers

This page from the April 14, 1965 Daily Northwestern reminds us of two of Menasha's long-time local grocers- Stani's on Appleton Street and Herb's Food Town on Third, touting that holiday staple, the Easter ham. 

Of special note, is the article about Catholic education at the top of the page.  This article reads as if it was first presented as a Sunday sermon, but if only to gain support for what was an effort at the time to create a new centrally located Catholic high school to replace St. Mary's.  The effort eventually stalled and we didn't see a new Catholic high until the new St. Mary's came along in 1996.   More to follow on that in the coming weeks.
