“I tell my friends in New York and told the crowd that he had
that if they want to find the real nothing but happy memories of
America, they should go to my the years he spent here. His
little town of Lititz,” Elmer Bobst father, the Rev. I. W. Bobst,
told a crowd of some 300 people served as pastor of Salem Church
Sunday. Bobst’s speech from June, 1890 to February,
highlighted the 150th anniversary 19103. The 88-year-old retired

Jay Kline, owner of Kelly’s Delicatessen, 110 E. Main St.,
prepares a sub, popular items on the local store’s menu.
Homemade Foods
Specialty at Kelly's
(Editor’s note: This is the 72nd
in a series of articles to acquaint
our readers with our local retail
merchants. The 73rd article will
appear next week.)
One of the busiest spots in town
is Kelly’s Delicatessen, lio E.
Main St., home of king-sized
sandwiches and the “wurst cup of
coffee” in town.
Known as the biggest little
store around, Kelly’s is owned
and operated by Jay E. Kline,
and is a favorite place for a quick
lunch, an afternoon snack, or just
a cup of coffee, which a sign
above the counter proclaims the
“wurst” coffee in town, for which
the management “ dares to
charge a dime” .
In addition to a small lunch
counter, the store includes a
grocerette and a delicatessen
department, which features fresh
sliced meats and cheeses, and
homemade salads and sandwich
fillings.
Much of the food served at
Kelly’s is made by Kline’s wife,
Gladys, and aunt, Mary E.
Shaub. Featured are a variety of
salads and fillings including egg
and olive, chicken, ham,
macaroni, potato, and seaside
(macaroni and tuna), homemade
chili and soups, and homemade
cookies and pies, including wet
bottom shoofly pie.
The salads and fillings are
available at both the lunch
counter and the delicatessen,
which also carries special meats
like Genoa salami and peppered
ham.
Other specialties are ham and
beef barbecues, Lititzburgers,
ham boats, and a big variety of
subs.
For sub fans, the store offers
Kelly’s Sub Club, a plan which
gives a free sub or ham boat after
the purchase of 10 of them.
Kelly’s also offers a carry-out
service and requires only a phone
call to have an order waiting
when the customer arrives. In
addition, the store has a catering
service on salads and meat trays
for parties and receptions.
Kline, who formerly worked for
Kunzler & Company meats,
started in the delicatessen
business eight years ago in
Lancaster. He opened the Lititz
store in November 1971, con­tinuing
to operate the Lancaster
store at J53 E. New St.
Kline attended McCaskey High
School and served in the armed
forces during the Korean conflict.
He and his wife reside in Leola
and have an ll-year-old
daughter, Kelly, for whom the
store is named. Kline’s father,
Edward Kline, Lancaster RD4,
and nephew, Doug Ginder,
Lancaster, both are employed in
the local store.
Kelly’s is open Monday through
Thursday from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m.,
Fridays from 9 a.m. to 10 p p.m.,
and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 7:30
p.m.
he told the crowd that Lititz will
always have a special place in his
heart.
In a chatty speech filled with
anecdotes, Bobst told about some
of the people he’s known and
some of the changes he’s seen
while climbing to the top of the
business world. He mentioned his
friendships with the Rev. Nor­man
Vincent Peale and President
Richard Nixon. Bobst used to
spend Christmases with the
Nixon family, was hosted by the
White House on his 85th birthday,
and attended Tricia Nixon’s
White House wedding.
Touching on the Watergate
scandal, Bobst said he felt the
President was being victimized
by an overeager press which had
blown the incident out of all
proportion.
Bobst said he still remembers
the days when he was old enough
to take his first collection. He
said the church hadn’t changed
much since his father preached
there, and added that he was
probably one of the oldest
members. He joined in 1896.
After his speech, Bobst was
presented with an oil portrait of
his father, and a porcelain lustre
hatpin holder used by Bobst’s
mother while she was in Lititz.
The portrait was done by Dr.
Ronald Sikes, a professor at
Millersville State College, and
the hatpin holder was donated to
the church by friends in Lititz
who had preserved it for years.
With emotion, Bobst said he
was most impressed by the
present because of the amount of
love he had for both parents.
Bobst said he attended the
service when his father preached
the 100th anniversary sermon.
“He spoke with spirit and fire.
I’m proud to be here but I don’t
intend to replace my father and
preach a sermon,” he noted.
Besides Bobst’s speech, the
afternoon service offered a
chance to view church artifacts
on display, to meet the new
pastor, the Rev. Richard Geib,
and say a goodbye to the intern
pastor, the Rev. Glenn Ludwig,
who has served the church for
three years. He will leave after
next Sunday’s sermon.
Greetings were also delivered
during the service by Dr. Arthur
Yeagy, secretary of the Central
Pennsylvania Synod, and
representatives of two off-shoot
parishes, the Rev. Ernest Huston
of St. Peter’s Lutheran Church of
Neffsville, and Mrs. Scott Gar-man,
president of the church
council of St. Paul’s Lutheran
Church of Lititz.
Two former pastors, the Rev.
W. R. Samuel (who could not
attend) and the Rev. Paul
Whitmoyer, gave their com­ments.
Dr. Herbert K. Cooper, a
longtime friend of Elmer Bobst,
introduced the main speaker.
Speaker for the morning ser­vice
was Dr. Luke Biemesderfer.
Dr. Biemesderfer is president
emeritus of Millersville State
College and a former member of
the Salem Lutheran Church.
