Memories of Great Adair Countians: Haskin & Hobart

About: Close Encounter of the Bear Kind: A tussle with Hobart Coomer Bear

By Patricia Squires Franklin

Haskin Coomer's bear spent a great deal of time in my front yard when I was a child at 707 Walker ST, directly across the street from Haskin's Service Station & City Supply Co.

During the summer months Haskin would bring the bear over to our front yard and chain him up to a walnut tree in the corner of the yard where people traveling Hwy 61 from Louisville etc going to Lake Cumberland would see it and stop.

Thinks Burma Shave signs one of greatest ad campaigns

About: Rev Joey N Welsh: Lessons from those Burma Shave signs

To ColumbiaMagazine.com:

I remember those Burma Shave signs well. I have used that type of advertising for many other events, successfully. In my opinion, that was the greatest marketing campagn ever!

Close Encounter of the Bear Kind:
A tussle with Hobart Coomer Bear


About: Now is the time to remember famous bears Hobart

By Don Allen
Grandson of Vasco and Pearl Coomer


That bear (Hobart) came down a tree and grabbed me from behind once and started rolling me around (playing with me) after I had been watching it in a tree.
BR>My grandfather, Vasco Coomer, grabbed a stick and had to hit it while the owner yelled at it to let me go.

I got a couple of small cuts and got shots at the local doctor in Columbia but wasn't really hurt.

Everyone laughed about it afterwards and said my feet were moving like Fred Flinstone in the cartoon while I was trying to get away.

I have fond memories of that bear doing that and drinking orange soda pop.-Don Allen
