How do you like those apples?  |
Yup, He owned or managed a Ben Franklin 5-n-dime in Bentonville Arkansas.
When the hola-hoop craze arrived he ran out the first Saturday and started making them at night in his basement.
He then realized that all the other small towns in the Orzark's were in the same boat so he would make a batch one night and the next night would load them in his 12' Jon boat on his little trailer and drive over the mountains to deliver them.
The rest is History.
