Why Do It the Hard Way

 

August 5, 1946, Menasha Record

This ad just reminded me of the number of neighborhood groceries Menasha once had (and these are just the ones that carried this product; there were others.)   But in time, they just faded away for many reasons.  Many of them couldn't compete with the deep discounts larger retailers could provide nor the vast selection of products these supermarkets could offer.  Or family members weren't interested in keeping the business going and a suitable buyer could not be found.
