The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.

'Salty' Learns Valuable Lesson About Starting Cranks on Ford Vehicles in 1920


From the April 29, 2020, MidWeek  "Looking Back."

1920, 100 Years Ago.

"Vernon Peterson, known to almost everybody as 'Salty' had the misfortune to break his arm while cranking the Ford trouble chaser of the telephone company.

"Salty has worked for the telephone company for some time and lately has had charge of the trouble wagon.  When he went to crank it yesterday, he did not take the usual care and the result is that he has a broken arm."

I'm taking it that trouble wagon is what goes out on calls.  Electric starters are so much better.
