What a great story! Dare I ask what year that was? ________________________________ From: Steve Fisher <iotacass1@hotmail.com> To: utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com Sent: Tuesday, November 8, 2011 9:36 AM Subject: Re: [Utah-astronomy] Sambo's Nah, my first job was at "Big John's little Beeline" 3900 South just below 900 East. We regularly sold regular for $ 24.9 and when the gas wars happened (remember them) we dropped as low as $ 19.9 and you still got full service. Recaps in any size were $9.95 each mounted but if you purchased all four they were $39.95 mounted and balanced. I made $1.00 for each tire I mounted. I thought I was rich. Actually I was better off financially than most of my friends. Of course I still had to work all summer for a good telescope. ;)

When gas was 50 cents a gallon?
Of Course, a bottomless cup of coffee was only $.05 anyway but I remember using these. http://www.sambosrestaurant.com/shopsam/product.php?productid=4 My wife worked at the shop on North Temple and 200 West for several years. > Date: Mon, 7 Nov 2011 14:41:50 -0700

. IIRC, the restaurants even had Little Black Sambo imagery displayed around the walls.
The Salt Lake franchises certainly did use graphics from the children's book.
