yeah they did. the A&P in bennington vt had the bins and grinders right in front, near the gumball machines. drove me nuts when i was a kid i couldn't drink coffee yet.
I did not realize Forney had grown so much in just the past 5 years. My daughter lives in North Dallas and the property taxes seem really high compared to here on the west coast of Florida. She wants me move to Texas but finding some where with lower taxes to build is what I am looking for. Jimbo
Great picture! That brought back a lot of memories. The Forney area was known for cotton farming for years. Before large commercially made cotton trailers were available every farm had trailers made from T or A chassis's since they were cheap and plentiful in junkyards and fields. My first 'project car' in about1963 was a T trailer that my grand dad had for many years that I tried to 're-constitute'. I found fenders etc in junk piles and ditches. Never got an engine but had a lot of fun learning and pushing it up and down the road in front of our house. That is the 50 pickup that my dad bought new and I still have in the back ground.
The Bill Woodard/Neal East Roadster, but when this picture was taken I think it was owned by Bill Moeller (sp?). Moeller was a show promoter that had connections to the ISCA.
