Letter: Memories of Crab Orchard M Saylor writes: I grew up in Crab Orchard and have been to the Howard Theater during the early 70's. The building to the right was a Western Auto and then a fitness center in the late 80's. The house to the left used to be occupied by the Lake family. Back then this was a busy little town. --M SaylorComments re photo 45907 Scenic Lincoln Co KY Howard Theater Crab Orchard 2019-11-24 18:36:56 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback

November 1977 Around Adair with Ed Waggener This article first appeared in a November issue of the Daily Statesman, probably in 1977. Topics included check cashing, customer service, and some Thanksgiving bulldozing. --Pen By Ed Waggener Some make you want to come back Some businesses have a way of wanting you to come back and spend your money with them. Others seem to be exceptionally endowed with the ability to sour all their customers. Donald Pedigo of Edmonton is a student of such practices. As an advertising counselor, he runs into all types. He tells me about a fellow going into the service station business in Central Kentucky. "The first time I stopped by it was all cleanedup. I thought, 'This guy is going to do some good.' I traded with him, and I stopped the next time. But this time the manager had a sign up, 'No Damned Loafing!' Pedigo says that he had no intentions of ever lingering, as he usually has appointments to keep. "But I pulled off the ramp without filling up," he said, "the sign offended me. I don't like to do business with that sort of person. Some put up signs like that on checks I remember as a child going into a garage which said, "Yes we give credit. IF applicant is 80 years old and accompanied by both parents."

Eighty years ago: 2 Thanksgivings, and death of a grandson of The Shire By JIM Since Civil War times, the annual Presidential Proclamation set the last Thursday in November as a day of thanks -- until Franklin D. Roosevelt and 1939 came along. At the behest of a national retail merchants' association, FDR rather belatedly (in late October) set the date as November 23rd, the fourth Thursday instead of the traditional fifth. The reason? You'll be shocked -- shocked, I tell you! -- to learn it was to give merchants more days for Christmas sales, for in those quaint olden times, it was considered poor taste to display Christmas decorations or to hawk holiday merchandise before Thanksgiving. Still, glimmers of dawn finally had begun to dispel the long night of the decade-long depression, and any chance to nudge the economy along was worth a try, even if it meant upsetting any number of already planned Thanksgiving activities. (Calendar makers expressed justifiable anger, and in that gentler era, most collegiate football seasons ended with a Thanksgiving weekend game. As a matter of fact, some conferences forbade any games after that date, and since the schedules had been set months in advance, all was chaos.) Needless to say, confusion ensued.
