Watertown Daily Times, 10 10 1955

Watertown popcorn products, turned out by Pagel's Popcorn products, operated in connection with Pagel's Bakery, today came in for national publicity when the October issue of the National Candy Wholesaler magazine carried an article dealing with novelty products. The article is entitled ”Parade of Fall merchandise.“ The magazine is known as ”The Voice of the Jobber.“ It has national distribution among all important candy and confection houses and manufacturers.

At an earlier time one could have enjoyed a potato chip junkie's treat: Pagel's Bakery cooked up a few chips every day and packaged them in a hand-stapled wax snack bag. One could buy a 25-cent bag of Pagel's not only at the bakery, but at the malt shop next door as well !
