1942: "Out collecting for Red Cross today. Art Mueller takes the morning off to go to Wautoma to buy a supply of canned goods from Karl Hanson. Donald (son) serves for Father Bastian at Sunny View this morning, which means getting up at 4:30 A.M. Finished collecting for Red Cross this afternoon. Collected $35.00 today." [from A. E. Potter's diaries]
1948: "Official temperature is down to 12° below this morning. Edward Wesiheipl buys my old Plymouth Coupe. He pays $425. for it; I was allowed $162.25 on the trade in. The mileage register shows 74,766.8 miles. Profit for Pete Beck $262.75. I was under the impression Eddie would get it for about $250 or $275." [from A. E. Potter's diaries]
