It can be purchased by donation in care of the "Fireman's Relief Fund in the amount of $27.80 F.O.B. Clay Center Kansas. |

On a business trip to St. Louis the honorable Mayor Stoner stopped of at the McCormick Distillery for an “official” visit. Upon restocking the trunk of his car with full size samples, he remembered that he usually brought Widow Johnson a gift from the road. Being a tea toatler she would not have any use for a spiritual gift. However the mayor used his considerable influence to acquire a single example of the limited edition 1937 Packard Cormorant brand new without any spirits being installed.
This example shown is that very gift and has not had any spirits introduced within… to this day. It can be yours in the original box for the tidy sum of $105.24 F. O. B. Clay Center Kansas 67432 |

This sign was on display for many years in the building next to the bank, which was two doors down from the police station. Johnny McPhee who ran the dry cleaners was often accused of laundering more than clothing. He seemed to make regular deliveries to the Mayor and Chief of Police, which proved to the locals there was much dirty laundry within the city departments.
Johnny later took a job doing laundry for the state and his business was closed on main street. This sign is all that is left of his operation. If you feel the least bit guilty or sorry for old Johnny, send $43.00 plus shipping to the city clerk and he will send you this sign and forward the money to Johnny. |

These cast aluminum signs have a curved mounting and rumor has it they came from Mayor Stoners still. It was reported that by the time the third batch was done and he had sampled a few “drips” that he could not remember which way to turn the valve off/on when filling the quart jars. So the city donated these signs from the water plant. If you have a need to keep your open and closed valve straight here is your answer. Buy the set for $26.10 fob Clay Center Kansas.

Yes that is Mr. Haney of Green Acres fame, and now he works for us. We
have put him in charge of our "more experienced merchandise." He has
made a list, written descriptions, and priced things at what he thinks
they are worth. If you see something you like, don't be bashful, make
him an offer. He is not always right! Check back often. Who knows what
he will come up with next...?
