It took quite a bit of "Photo Shopping" to enhance this ad from the October 1970 Trenton Times celebration of Italian-American History Month. With the drastic and unfortunate shift that has occurred and continues to occur in Trenton's historic Chambersburg section, it is nice to know that this legendary bakery is still holding forth at its Butler Street location. For me personally, one of the heavenly delights is a 12 or 13 inch loaf of IPB's Italian bread with real "Land O Lakes" butter heavily smeared on 3/4 inch slices....then, a heaping dish of spaghetti and meatballs and we get just a touch of Heaven on earth. YUM!

HI TOM...I GO WAY BACK WITH THE BAKERY AND REMEMBER HOW EVERYONE IN THE BURG DEPENDED ON THEM DURING THE TOUGH DEPRESSION YEARS. WE ATE A LOT OF BREAD IN THOSE DAYS, WITH EVERYTHING TO FILL UP. ANOTHER GREAT CHAMBERSBURG PROVIDER. GOD BLESS THEM.
