Grandpa was their Butcher for many years
Mar 9 2009, 1:13 PM EDT
My Grandfather George Koebel was a Butcher at Hock &Packers for many years. Young people got a weiner when accompanied by their parentws on grocery day. The only time weiners were not given out by grandpa was on Friday's to the Catholic kids who he knew by name."No weiner's today boys its Friday." Back then Fridays were a meatless day for Catholics. My father Gordon Burton also worked here as a grovery clerk. I remember the clerks who worked there as they waited on you and rung up yoour purchases. All our clothing was purchesed here etc for the odd thing we got from Sear's Catalogue. When my Grandmother was sick Abe Packer would send some canned fruit to her that she loved and could keep down. It was a gift from him for the many years of service Grandpa gave to the Store.
