1978 - Brewbaker's Furniture Holds Post Roof Collapse...and...Russell Memorial Hospital Limits Visitation Due to Flu...and Brown's Market in Millersburg Has Three Loaves of Oven-Glo Bread for $1.09 From Presque Isle County Advance and Onaway Outlook February 8, 2018

  
CAPTION: There was a sale at Brewbaker's! It was a post blizzard sale and there was a 
very good reason for it.  The warehouse roof collapsed and everything was moved to the 
store.  The showrooms were over stocked.  Wait for it- "thousands of dollars worth of
merchandise must go!" a 1978 Outlook predictably stated. In real Onaway News, "Effective
immediately. Russell Memorial Hospital has restricted visitors to the hospital and is
presently under a flu quarantine." So, flu was a problem then, as it is now.  At the
hospital, there was only one designated visitor allowed per patient for the length of 
that patient's stay in the hospital.  Staff offered to hand-deliver notes to the rooms.
One of the best bargains around was at Brown's Market in Millersburg where three loaves
of Oven-Glo bread was $1.09.  How about an eight-pack of 16-ounce Cokes for $1.69?  That's
about the price of one today.
