A, well Trinity, I don't know how to break the news to you, but John G. Kellogg was not famous for FEEDING yogurt to folks, he took the shortcut.

Woolworths, that brought back a few memories,  we used to go to the one downtown, Muskogee, Ok.  they had a mynor bird, he could talk up a storm ,  first bird I had ever seen that could talk.  just fasinated me.  I'd go with my grandmother and I could sit for a couple of hours while she shopped.

We usta have both Woolworth and Woolco stores.  Woolco was the low-cost bargain center owned by Woolworth Co.  My best pal and I went there (1976 or so) and purchased (each of us) a Gew. 88 rifle (Turkish export model) and about 60 rounds of surplus steel jacketed ammo.  This is the rifle commonly known as the Mauser 1888, but it's more correctly known as the Commission Rifle. This one had been re-bored to the "S" (Spitzer) cofiguration.  It was (and still is) safe to shoot the standard 8 mm Mau. bullets that are .323".  It now lives in semi-retirement in my safe, but I still can shoot it - but I have loaded reduced power loads for it.  No sense takin' chances with that old Warhorse.

I still have the rifle and the receipt.  The rifle was $27.88, the ammo was $1.00 for 15 rounds, and with tax, the whole ball of wax was less than $35 !  Those were the days ...
