I Read It on a Cereal Box-- Part 3

Back to that box of Millville Honey Crunch 'n Oats. Millville is a brand sold in the Aldi grocery store chain.

Along with the pictures I wrote about last week, their was text.

"The comeback of the American Automobile Industry following World War II further promoted the use of Route 66, and service station prototypes were developed regionally, and then adopted across the country. The filling station became elaborate with service bays & tire outlets." with a picture of Springfield, Illinois' Bill Shea in front of his place.


"Nat King Cole's hit tune helped make Route 66 the most popular choice for the cross-country adventurers, and for overnight accommodations, they stayed at motor courts. having evolved from isolated cottages, the buildings featured all the rooms under a single roof. Lit by neon and designed with flair, the trendy lodging was eventually referred to as 'motel'" with a picture of a Route 66 Motel sign.

And don't forget that Bobby Troup, the "MASH" jeep-driving sergeant who wasn't fond of the Army wrote the tune.
