"THEY WERE HANGING OUT OF THE WINDOWS!"

1953 STUDEBAKER

During those magical days at Purdue University, one of my industrial management professors forecast the demise of Studebaker a few years before the fact. 

His rationale:

While passing the Studebaker plant in south Bend, Indiana recently, he noticed several workers hanging out of the windows!!!

Either there was no work for them to do or they didn't want to work. Too bad, because a Studebaker today would sell---at least I think they would.

MUST SEE!--Miniatur Wonderland @ Hamburg, Germany

SEND THIS TO YOUR GRANDCHILDREN


I LOVE TRAINS. ALL KINDS--REAL AND MODEL TRAINS. IN MY SURFING, I DISCOVERED THE UNBELIEVABLE LAYOUT IN HAMBURG, GERMANY.


THERE ARE TRAINS, PLANES, CARS, BUSES, ROCKETS, BOATS, OIL RIGS, CASINOS, OCEANS, SKI SLOPES, POLICE CARS, AND MORE THAN I CAN DESCRIBE HERE.


THE ATTENTION TO DETAIL IS UNMATCHED. I WAS STRUCK WITH THE MANY MODELS OF TRAINS AND PLACES IN THE USA.


WATCH THIS AND PREPARE TO BE AMAZED!

COLLEGE STUDENTS BEING COLLEGE STUDENTS



Image result for chesty potato chips history
PLEASE READ ALL OF THE POST

In the early days (1950's) of live Indiana college TV sports telecasting, only WTTV (Channel 4), Bloomington, came into Southern Indiana homes.  The only sponsor I can remember was Chesty Potato Chips. 

In the early 1960's, I was a student at Purdue University and WTTV carried most Purdue home . All of the students sat on the east side of the field house. A very small crow's nest was up high on the west side. Two announcers, a cameraman, and a bright light were crammed into this tight perch.

During a timeout, the bright light would illuminate one of the announcers holding a bag of Chesty Potato Chips and he would do the commercial.

One night, a student started chanting "WE HATE CHESTYs!" as the Chesty commercial started. Soon all of the students picked up the chant and it was deafening as several thousand Purdue students chanted
"WE HATE CHESTYs ! WE HATE CHESTY's! WE HATE CHRSTY's!"

When the spotlight went off, the chanting stopped. I do not recall this happening at all WTTV telecasts in the field house.

College Students Being College Students at Purdue University!

This Post is dedicated to the memory of my very good late friend---Ray Halbert.

A HEADLINE YOU PROBABLY HAVE NEVER SEEN

Oklahoma Gas Recall

THE 5 COLUMN HEADLINE IN THE 9-1-16 OKLAHOMAN SAYS IT WELL

"Retailers cope with cleanup
of tanks with recalled gasoline"

A gas distributer put 30 percent ethanol (normal 10) in many gas stations in central Oklahoma. And in turn into many cars.

The distributer is cleaning up the mess and will pay for engine repairs. I just missed it by two days !!!!!
