In Muscatine on Tuesday, February 6, 1951, Dale wrote, “Worked 8 to 4:30. 35° at noon, 7° above, windy at 8 P.M. Bought 3 quarts skim milk at Pure Milk for 25¢. Pretty good, too. Busherys here in evening. They rented a house in South End.” My grandfather, Williams Gardner, used to squirt milk to barn cats like this woman is doing.
