Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Old brands, gone now.

My wife was a life long Hostess Cupcake addict until the Little Debbie company started making them under the Hostess name. She says they aren't any where as good now as they used to be.

It's real a shame for me too because a box of the original Hostess Cupcakes used to help smooth over some of my occasional minor transgressions.

The International Harvester line of passenger vehicles/trucks, the Scout, Pickup, and Travelall 200. Loved those trucks.

Marathon candy bar. Used to love those. I think you can import them, but who knows now with the ban on chocolate imports from the UK.

Marathon were my favorite when I was a kid. What's the import ban from the UK about?

Savage 24V's and Savage Fox Model B SE's

Hershey got the US government to stop the importation of Cadbury chocolate. Just saw it in several places last week.

Schrade USA knives. Used to pass them in Ellenville on Schrade Court right off Route 209 on my way to deer camp for years. That little green handled 50T has been in my pocket every day for over 18 years since my daughter gave it to me. Don't know how many deer it's dressed because I forgot to bring along a real hunting knife.

Agree with International Harvester. My best friend in high school bought one just like this for $200 and we had a blast in that thing.

Dr. Pepper in the glass bottles made with Pure Cane Sugar. The first and original Dr. Pepper Plant is only about 75 miles east of here. They do a special run of the good stuff once a year, usually around Christmas time.

Also RC Cola.

Several of the Mexican restaurants in town are advertising original coke and other soda products. I guess they are bringing them in from Mexico.

Pretty cool and a huge difference in taste.

Yep. And I noticed Sam's Club here is selling the Mexico Coke. I'll have to give it a try.

Winchester.
General Electric
Westinghouse......
So many "brands" are still here. The companies, and quality, have been gone for years.

Ford tractors
Curtis Mathes televisions
Oldsmobile
Piedmont Airlines

Allis-chalmers, Oliver, Minneapolis Moline, IH, Case, White,

Gambles, Coast to Coast, skogmoes.

Pearl Drops tooth polish, Powdered alum used to use it for canker sores. Stung like crazy, tasted like chit, but it worked. I went to a pharmacist (younger guy) and asked him about it. He didn't know what I was talking about, had to ask the older guy there.

Brockway, Autocar, Diamond Rio, White, Dodge, Marmon, Ford, GMC

The original Shinola. The new Shinola
is unrecognisable.

On the other hand, "New Coke", we can do without.

Wolf Point Saddlery.



My dad would take us kids in and we'd say hello to the friendly old gal behind the counter.

Willy, the boot repairman, might be drunk(but still working).


Go downstairs through a big wide staircase and the boss would be building a saddle, maybe a pair of chaps or tooling a new belt.

Good old Gene and Loretta Martin. They also raised quarter horses and a some cows.

Gene died along with most of Main Street and the store has been closed for probably 15 years. But we still have two old Martin cow ponies. They don't get rode much anymore.


Cool old place that is missed.

Multiply that by a few thousand Sam.
