We had wholesale account.

The trip was 450 miles back and I used 20 Gallons of fuel at $.32/Gallon in my USDA Surplus 1963 Short Bed pickup that I paid $450.00 for at a GSA auction two years before. It had 60,000 miles.

I use to love going to their open house in the fall as I recall every year. I bought quite a few things there. Whatever the old wagon could carry...

Listening to their "complaint department" in action was poetry in motion.We started doing business with them in late 1945. Michael was prescious.
There were no waranties.
