Eader's Bakery, Ontario
In today's column, Ontario Councilman Jim Bowman mentions having worked as a dishwasher at Eader's Bakery while at Chaffey High in the 1960s. Kelly Zackmann of the Ontario Library's history room turned up this image from the 1967 Ontario phone directory. Eader's was near Wag's, later Molly's, a soda fountain and diner.

Wow....love the photo of the bread bag...216 N. Euclid...I remember it well. My sister, Linda, and I worked there with mom and dad.
Best,

I had my first cream puff at Eader's...and it hooked me.
Having moved to D and Vine in the early '40s I sure do remember the great shops in downtown Ontario. On Friday night my mom, sister and I would get in our car just afer dinner and go downtown. Park our car and get an ice cream cone at Henry's (then Wag's) and watch the people.
The nice stores were Ostrans, Fallis Bros, Newtons Stationery and, of course, Newberrys and the great soda fountain at Gemmel's. The Poisters ran that for many years and the cherry cokes and phosphates were the signature of the fountain. I even worked there while I was in high school in the '50s.
To be perfectly honest I truly miss the good ole days.
[I can see why. Shirley, thanks for stopping by the blog. -- DA]
