Name of Old restaurant

Did the Hathaway House sell nice clothing as the upstairs at the Country Store did at that time - early to mid-sixties? I worked at the OCS, too. One vivid memory of Mr. St. Claire was that on sunny days when things were slow at the candy counter, we were sent out back to soak Anne Page (A&P brand) labels off of jams and jellies and replace them with hand written OCS labels and up the price from $.39 to $.79. Tourists would buy a half dozen jars to give as gifts or keep as their winter stash. At the dinner table one evening, I questioned this practice and my dad told me to just do as I was told. Love the sixties!
