In about 11:00. Dug iris at 552 North Greenwood & planted some in garden & took some to Erma Hutchman & some home. Got 2 cases pop.* Daddy got Nash – $4.35. Drumm offered me $500 on Ray’s car. Ironed tonight. Bed 11:45.
[*We always bought our pop (sodas) at Barq’s Bottling on Rt. 4 just north of the current Rt. 423/4 split. Some of the flavors were Root Beer (still made!), Whistle (Orange), Bubble-Up (like 7-up), and my favorite, Scream (red pop) – slogan “Scream for the Best!”]
