   Thanks for reproducing the whole article, it’s great to have a detailed history from someone who was so closely involved with the business.. The article is from the July, 1977 Philadelphia Magazine.

   As a young boy, I loved going to the Penn Fruit with my father every Saturday. The expansive facade, soaring roofline, and cavernous inside fascinated me.
