[AT] OT NuGrape, Beeman's Pepsin Gum etc (Country Store)

[Al Jones]

John,

Growing up, me and Granddaddy were the main "drink drinkers."  My dad
lost his taste for carbonated water and syrup in his late 20's.  I tried
to make sure when we went to get more fertilizer, seed, or dump a load
of grain that I went with Granddaddy so I could wet my whistle.

Well Ron, I did mention about using the hammer out of the tractor
toolbox to 
open drinks with. Another thing we had to do was watch for the drinks
being 
delivered. Sometimes we could see who was bringing them to the field and

sometimes not. If we had a truck there they would leave them sitting on
it 
where we could see them. If not they were probably left sitting on the 
ground where your last pass was. In June it could take as long as 30-45 
minutes to get drinks to everyone. The grain truck drivers were usually
left 
to fend for theirselves when they came in for gas. Every night/morning
we 
had to round up all the bottles from the tractors, trucks, combine, etc.

Pepsi would deliver every two weeks here to the farm during the summer.
