News, deals, and help wanted, mid-August 1973 By JIM Fifty years ago this week, the front page of the Adair County News announced Dr. James C. Salato's two-year appointment to the state Fish and Wildlife Commission, and a photo showed the swearing in ceremony. This page also informed readers the Edmonton to Bowling section of the newly opened Cumberland Parkway had collected close to $28,000 in toll monies in July. (The Columbia to Edmonton section opened shortly this item appeared.) And too, controversy swirled over which horse actually won the Adair County Derby. In the incredibly close race, the judges had declared Mr. Rivers as the winner, but a finish line photo published in this edition of the paper indicated Musketeer, owned by Thomas Downey and trained by Charles Perkins, had nosed the line first. The K & F (George Keltner and Ernest Finn) Kentucky Food Store, "top of Jamestown Hill," had a full page ad; one featured item was a one-pound tin of Folger's Coffee for 79 cents "with coupon." A smaller ad from Houchens (location not stated in the ad) offered Emge Chief bacon at $1.58 a pound (plus bonus S&H Green Stamps) and bulk country pork sausage at $1.03/lb. And, on Campbellsville Street, the Columbia Locker & Market (Carl Harris, owner) also had deals for the astute shopper, including four tins of Vienna Sausage for 95 cents. The Firestone Store offered a deluxe 30" electric range for $188.95 and a bit plainer model for about 20 dollars less, and the Durham Grocery Store, 300 Greensburg Street, had Gray-Seal Pro-Plastic Latex paint on sale at $14.92 for a two-gallon pail. And finally, those with an immediate hunger could enjoy three pieces of chicken, mashed potatoes with gravy, cole slaw, and hot biscuits for a buck-twenty five at Famous Recipe in Columbia (location not stated). Folks seeking employment could respond to the blind ad shown herein. This story was posted on 2023-08-20 07:56:10
