[PRCo] Re: PRCo on eBay

[Bob Rathke]

I've been away from the computer for a couple of days (in Milwaukee and 
Kenosha), so I'm just reading this e-mail now.
There was a comment asking me about a couple of the photos at the bottom of 
the string, but those images are no longer posted on ebay.

As for the County Fair - I attended my first Fair in 1948 or '49.  I 
remember it always being held over Labor Day weekend.  I have some Fair 
programs from the early 50's that are dated for Labor Day.
