Jim Wertman went into the busi-
ness of sweets and meats about two
months ago and is building his
customer list daily.
J & J Deli and Bakery, located at
659 Memorial Highway next to Roth
Jewelers, has a list of goodies for a
hearty Back Mountain appetite.
There’s bar-b-ques, hot and cold
subs, cold sandwiches, and home-
made salads to tempt your tummy.
Wertman takes pride in the salads
which are made fresh daily and
with no preservatives.
J & J also uses the motto ‘‘Cater-
ing For Any Occasion.” According
to Wertman, the catering reputation
at J & J is building and he has had
many referral catering customers.
The baked goods sold at J & J are
made fresh at the Bakery Delight in
Plains. Wertman said the pastries
are of high quality and many cus-
tomers are delighted that they no
longer have to take the long trip to
Plains to get their quality baked
goods. Wertman also mentioned
that the ice cream cakes made at
Bakery Delight are especially deli-
cious because they are made with
homemade ice cream.
Wertman makes a special trip
every morning (and sometimes
again in the afternoon) to insure the
freshness of all the baked goods. J
& J Deli and Bakery is open Sunday
through Thursday from 9 a.m. to 7
p.m. and on Friday and Saturday
from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.
Wertman operates J & J Deli
along with his wife, Janis.

located at 245 Prospect Street, will
continue to conduct business under
the name of Ideal Consumer Dis-
count Company. He added that the

ager. Other officers include Ross,
