Memories of Dobrauc's
My mother (Beatrice Prasniker Ashbacher) worked for Dobrauc Grocery store for years.  Memory of Henry Ashbacher
Dobrauc Grocery was 1 block north of Karlinger Corner, next to Prasnickers.  We shopped at Dobrauc for groceries, shoes, some clothing in the early days.  Antone Dobrauc (we called him “Skinner”) delivered groceries later by car.  They always gave Dad a sack of rock candy after he paid his bill.  That rock candy was soooo good!  We shopped at Dobrauc Grocery because Mr. Dobrauc helped Dad when they came to America.  Karlinger’s groceries were a little bit higher in price, too.  The Dobrauc family house was attached to the back of the store.  The Dobrauc girls worked in the store.
