Sock it to em theme for cartwheel payroll
Four local men and about 40 coworkers at Augustine Brothers Ranch and A R Trucking in Shelby were paid part of their wages in a sock full of silver dollars. About 500 pounds of mint dated dollars from 1971 and 1972 were ordered through First National Bank of Shelby. The idea came from curiosity to see how much payroll stays local and workers were asked to spend the coins as is. Delivery required no guard or special handling and payroll with checks would be easier, admits Bob Gillespie.

Traveling by car from Wisconsin to Indiana and beyond
A traveler recalls packing 10 cubic yards of people and gear into a two yard car, planning a trip from Wisconsin through Indiana and Florida to Germany, noting scattered relatives, Grandma Howe's cooking, and changes in highway speeds and scenery across Iowa and Illinois. The narrator plans to log stop signs between Osceola and Medaryville and reflects on slower, more scenic travel in earlier days.
