This is a surprise. More lost jobs in the Lehigh Valley.
When they first opened up for business, I looked over at Martha, and told her that they wouldn’t last.
Sorry to hear that. Living in the West I have no idea of what kind of products they manufactured.

This song made me sad back in the 80’s! Guess we’ll never learn...
“And the Union People slunk away...”
They sell sugar water. Sugar water. When you can’t avoid the Federal Government when you make and sell sugar water, we have way too big of a federal government.

There is a little soda bottling plant in Breeze IL called Excel Bottling that looks like that. They also started bottling their own beer about a year and a half ago.
This is awful. Most of my aunts, uncles and cousins on my father’s side of the family is in the Lehigh Valley... I fondly recall visiting my uncle in Bethlehem and there was always a big glass bottle of A-Treat in the fridge with a reusable stopper.
Well, at least Allentown has a new arena ice rink and hockey team, 7th and Hamilton.
I always refer to A-TREAT as Indefinite Article Treat”
Private joke, sorry to see them gone. When I see the A-TREAT signs outside a small deli or beverage distributor it always reminds me of being a kid. Old fashioned.
