JIM Christmas Wish List: Bikes advertised for Christmas gifts in 1955 2017-12-17 - Adair County, KY - Photo from the collection of JIM. Gift ideas available from this Columbia business in 1955 showcased Schwinn bikes starting at $39.95 (Fair Trade Price) or one of many rebuilt bikes for $22.50, from M & W Auto Parts. The store stayed open until 10pmCT, Christmas eve for the guilt ridden Dad who forgot his son or daughter's Christmas would be ruined if the Schwinn weren't under the tree. Two who can add details about this business are Fay McKinley whose late husband L.G. Peanut McKinley was a partner with E.P. Waggener, and teenaged salesperson Ed Waggener whose name is on the ad. We're hoping they will send more details about where the bike business was located and who might have received a shiny new Schwinn that year when time allows. And thanks to JIM for sharing this from his research. - Linda Waggener Read More... | Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

JIM: Christmas Wish List - 17 Dec 1958 - Nu Art 2017-12-17 - Nowadays 212 Public Square, Columbia, KY building - Photo from the collection of JIM. Perusing the pages of the December 17, 1958 brought a lot of familiar business names to the front, names such as Columbia Nursery, The Fabric Shop, Downey & Wolford Auction Service, Ed's Ky. Auto Store. Harper's Market, Columbia General Appliance, Collins Buick, Western Auto, Peoples Loan Company (202 Public Square), Lowe's Drugs, Adair Farmers Service Store, Rice Hardware, Overstreet & Holmes, Jerry's Beauty Shop (Lindsey Wilson St.), Scott's Barber Shop (Travis Scott, prop.), The Style Shop, The Firestone Store, Corner Drug, Kroger, Owens Men's Wear (112 Public Square), Young's Rexall Drug, Lany Bray & Co., Reece's Radio & TV Service, and Marshall Shoe Store, among others. Only a few of these establishments listed a telephone number (local prefix FU 4 for those who did, of course) and many were located by the same trisyllabic phrase: "On the square." Many of the ads were larger, more eye-catching, and better adorned than the one from Nu Art Studio, but none perhaps better caught the spirit of the times than this one. - JIM Read More... | Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Miss Vicky: Undeniable trail of evidence of cow crime 2017-12-17 - Miss Victorias Pampered Angus Range, Greater Bliss, KY - Photo by Miss Vicky. A total of 16 are implicated in this littering crime - nine cows who ought to have known better, and 7 impressionable calves hanging out with the wrong crowd. Miss Vicky, whose patience is tried and who would have had the full force of the law on people-types doing a comparable thing, writes, "Seems they pushed the cattle trailer door open where I store empty feed sacks and proceeded to look for one with a little feed in it since they were so terribly hungry," adding, "It's only been about 16 hours since they last dined on 100 pounds of grain. No rest for a busy farm gal."
