Sounds good to me... :) I was raised with it, too... Daddy bought
all kinds of flavors of breads, including pumpernickle... I remember
a "chant" we often did in the car on a Sunday morning driving to some
country church where Daddy was going to fill their pulpit for the
day (a loaf of bread, usually raisin, but sometimes pumpernickel
being breakfast for the family in the car)... "Jane Parker Pumpernickel
bread, No Fat Attic" (the last bit being some child's mispronounce of
"Added" which got picked up on for the chant)...

Was that an "Anne Page" brand? :-)

Nope. Jane Parker even if they were cousins under the A&P umbrella.

I figured that she meant by that that it was one of the A&P brands, and answered accordingly... ;)

I miss our A&P stores - it was the first stupormarkup I was ever in.

I think it was one of Daddy's favorites... and it was most everywhere we
moved to... except not Rochester, by the time we moved here (1965)... I
miss them too, although Wegmans definately makes up for it... ;) They
were still in the Annapolis MD area when I was going down there to help
my sister with each new baby, in the 80's and maybe the 90's...

Back in the 1940s we had small neighbourhood grocery stores, Red &
White franchises, IGA franchises, Piggly Wiggly stupormarkups and A&P. Kroger had not yet metastasised into the gigantic tumor that it has
become

The Red & White franchises, I think used to be here... I don't remember
them from other places... Piggly Wigglys we had in Mississippi...
There's still some IGA franchises here and in PA, and probably lots of
other places.... :)
