Flashback Friday: 1959 Program pages 11-13

Back to the 1959 program for this week's Flashback.

Page 11 is notable for a frighteningly large apple as the mascot for WAPL. Also, note that WAPL of 1959 is much different from the WAPL of today.

The J.S. Vander Meer who is noted as the manager of Topeka is Johnny "Back-to-back no-hitters" Vander Meer.

Random diner in 1959 walks into a restaurant and asks, "Do you grill?" The man behind the counter responds. "Did you read the sign outside?"



Oh, and Dick's Tavern at 223 E. College Avenue is now Jim's Place.

Stop in to say hello during the season and tell them you heard about Jim's Place on Rattler Radio.

Two ads for bowling alleys on the same page. I don't think that either minded because they were on the same page as Potato Pascual, the popular player and batting champion from 1958.

Don't you love that the player from 1958 has a bigger picture than the mayors of Kaukauna and Little Chute.


Are Clark stations still around? I haven't seen one in a long time.

Hey, Luebke Roofing sponsored the pre-game show in 1959! They sponsored that t-shirt shooter last year.

Isn't it interesting that an ad for premium beers like Blatz and Hamm's and Old Style share a page with an ad for the area pharmacists?

And I should hope that the pharmacists did their one year internship at an ethical pharmacy.
Premium beers like Blatz, Hamm's, and Old Style? Really?
