Drucks Electric



November 10, 1966 Neenah-Menasha Northwestern


June 13, 1967 Neenah-Menasha Northwestern

A long time fixture on Main Street, Drucks was Menasha's jack-of-all-trades appliance store for a major purchase like a refrigerator or range, down to the minor ones, like a radio or a blender. 

If you've ever seen the movie "That Thing You Do," the main character worked in his Dad's Erie, Pennsylvania appliance store named "Patterson's," not unlike Drucks.  As in Patterson's within the movie, Drucks sold records, too, to supplement the phonograph sales. 

Every time I watch that film, I can't help but think of Drucks.
