I like the slogan on the right panel "the solution to the housewives eternal problem...what shall we serve for our weekly meals", I wonder if it was ever answered before PB left the scene.

As much as Packard's was a local institution I was glad it reached the demolition stage before it made Hackensack the scene of another horrific fire like the one at Hackensack Ford. Wooden construction, wall paper and flammable material in store rooms and people smoking anywhere and anytime they had the desire.

Thankfully it left us with good memories.
