Frank Hoffmann's grocery was at 163 Main Street, just a few doors down from the First National Bank. We first caught a glimpse of it in the July 4th photo I posted on the blog earlier this year. Obviously, Frank was a promoter of the city, as evidenced by the stationery he was using touting the advantages of living in 1930-ish Menasha. I can only presume this was an intitiative of City Hall/Chamber of Commerce and expect that other merchants were doing the same thing. Interesting slogan.

ReplyDeleteIt's neat seeing old pictures of 163 main street, my first apartment was in the 2nd floor of this building.
