Water Boy

August 14, 1965, Neenah-Menasha Daily Northwestern

We end this week on sort of an unusual note, looking at one of the more unique summer jobs for a young person in the Twin Cities in the 1960s.  Be it known that this "nature's helper" was a one of a kind, unlike all the many lawn mowers and car washers and newspaper carriers out there.  I'm convinced, that in time, a more convenient and economical way of watering the planters was developed, but for that moment, suffice it to say, we bask in the novelty of it all.

  1. Greg is my husband and still a hard worker at age 72. Being the innovative and entrepreneurial person that he is, purchased his own company at age 26 and still owns today. Thank you so much for the article. Greg really enjoyed reading it. And thank you for his brother Norb for bringing it to our attention.
