Mehring Monday: 1959 Program continued

Mehring Monday returns after a week hiatus with a quick look at pages 4-6 of the 1959 Fox Cities Foxes program. As always, click the page for a larger image.

Notes on Page Four:
  • WNAM with a nice ad in the program.
  • Where do sportsmen meet?!?! The Owl Tavern, of course.
  • Yankee Stadium dimensions were goofy.
  • I have been trying to find information on Mayor Bell. No luck

Notes on Page Five:
  • In the picture of the directors of Appleton Baseball, I count 10 regular ties, 2 no ties, and 1 bow tie.
  • Typewriter shop? How quaint.
  • About the Wettengel's Bar ad at the bottom: Was there a rash of non-regulation pool tables in Appleton during the 50's?
  • Wettengel's Bar is now Jack's Apple Pub.
  • The lower right hand corner may be the finest clip art use of an umpire ever


Notes on Page Six:

  • Below: Jack McKeon without mustache. Link: Jack McKeon with mustache.
  • Heid Music is still in the same place.
  • K-C Modern Bar with All Sports Events on Radio & TV. If I had a time machine, I would like to go back and see a 1959 Sports Bar. Then, I'd order some buffalo wings, some southwest egg rolls, and a beer other than Schlitz or Pabst Blue Ribbon...and be chased out of the place.
  • Maybe I should stop at Uncle Jim's Bar to see what the place looks like today, because that is the business at 317 N. Appleton in Appleton.
  • After swinging by Jack's Apple Pub, I can see the State Street Diner. State Street Diner is the former King Bee Lunch. King Bee? Do they have those?


I will continue the look through the 1959 Program this week in a special edition of The Interrogation Room and on Flashback Friday.
