I woke up this morning with a old commercial going through my mind, does anyone remember the old gene williams chevrolet sign off sloagon on his commercials? I do and cannot get it out of my head now.
What the Old Prairie Field out in south town?
Most of us remember when they were 50 cents with home delivery.
Hey, '64, I saw in the paper today where Al Waintroob died. I knew him back when he had Waintroob's on Commerce and then I worked for him when he had the Men's Dept at AMC. But I saw today that he had gone into your business and I was wondering if you knew him. He was one of those who had a gruff front but was really very nice. I liked him a lot.
