Free Tool

July 28, 1970, Neenah-Menasha Daily Northwestern
From the same Prospector Days that gave you yesterday's diapers in the hardware store ad, comes this strange barbecue tool, given as a gift by the Bank of Menasha upon opening a new savings or checking account.  (Remember those days when a gift was usually guaranteed for doing such a thing?)  Toasters, candles, piggy banks all were token gifts for just doing business you were likely to do anyway.  Anyway, this so-called whatchamacallit was THE offering for the summer cook-outs in 1970.  Sadly, since we banked at First National, we had to do without this tool, yet somehow, we survived.
