"Barely readable at the corner of the Jewel store is an oval “Burny Bros.” sign, a popular Chicago
bakery that had departments in many Jewel stores of the era."

Who could forget Burny Bros.
They were all over this area and had the best baked goods.Jules Burny was a close friend of mine and shot a mean game of Golf as well.

WOW!...Main St. Downers G. in 1961.
