Baseball teams played at the park. One of them was the Grove's Cotts and another the Bug Six named after a cereal company that sponsored the team. (I don't know that I would buy a cereal named bug.)
There was also advertising on a barn at the east end of the park. It was painted by a man named Cheetham. On it there were two men and one says to the other: "Have a cigar, my dear Alphonso." The other replies: "Certainly, if it's Bell of Sycamore,"
This was a cigar made in Sycamore.
I was unable to find out anything more about a Bug Six cereal or Bell of Sycamore cigars.

RoadDog's RoadLog Blog: Being my travels down those great two lane highways of this nation as well as news I learn about them from media sources. Since I'm also very interested in historic preservation, there will be a lot of that as well.
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.
