Yes Shameless but did Chev ever put a OK on a Ford. I was to little or not interested at the time,
 but remember the radio adds of "check our OK used car corral" or at least very close to those words. I assume that Chev or GM had some criteria that a auto had to pass to be declared OK but also assumed it didn't have to be a GM built auto to be OK. |

That looks great, I tried to stop by, drove within 15 miles of your place but I had a car full of grumpy womenfolk who'd been on their feet all day except for the short amount of time they were sitting down eating Hershey chocolate. I did good to get back to VA alive, it was late and they weren't very conducive to making a tractor stop.

Jw ( Wiseman )had pants in 2012 ,he came here and bought a 18-30 from me. But I think that's when things started for him , cost him a new Kitchen or something like that. LOL

Nice looking shop and signs certainly add to it. I like old signs but IMO the show American Pickers sure has increased their value. ------------- Mike |

Fred in Pa, Back in the late 60s, I worked for Harris Milling here in Cadillac, one on Mt Pleasant and Owasso. Famo Feed was their brand, Grocery stores carried Famo pancake flour. We got a lot of Master Mix in. Most of our business was grinding feed for cattle for the smaller farmers and bulk chicken feed. I was just surprised to see it. That sign joggled the memories. Back them I threw 100# sacks of grain around all day, now I have to wrestle to get a 25# sack of dog food off the floor.
