I remember when Killingtons started back in 1934. It did really well back then, what with it being the Depression and all. Roosevelt had his New Deal but times were hard.
You were lucky if you got one ear of corn a day, corn being five cents at the time. And where the devil were you going to find five cents in all of Nebrasky?
Yup, them Killingtons folks got rich. Why, I used to call them on my neighbors all the time. "His name's Fergus," I'd say, "13 Cardboard Box." Cost every cent of my bootleg liquor, but it was worth it
