This was on my block and owned by Pat Pratico who lived in
Yardley as I recall. It was a 9 to 5 business so when it
closed and everyone went home we sat on the loading docks
as kids as a place to hang out. Burg kids were good at
improvising such things:)

This ad is from 1956. This was owned by the Donini family
and lasted many decades. People still talk of how good
their products were. Paul Donini's Saint Joachim's school
pictures are a treasure beyond words for folks who love
Burg history:)
