Anthony Wholesale Grocery - Kansas...

"Linda, your listserve is a wonderful service! You have helped our nonprofit immeasurably in the short time we have known about you! Thank you!

AND NOW... another request for your readers. We are in a precarious situation where we must prove some way that there were PEOPLE involved in the transportation to and from the Anthony Wholesale Grocery Co. in Anthony, KS with branches in Fairview and Alva.

Does anyone know of any family oral history stories that there were ever passenger cars in the line up of box cars that hauled King Parrot brand goods to these locations? We must find a way to make 'people'" connections to surface transportation in order to qualify for the grant we are seeking for restoration.

Also, does anyone recall a bus line that may have operated through Anthony to points in Oklahoma? In my faint memory, I recall there was a Bickel Bus Line somewhere in South Central Kansas or Oklahoma. Is there any chance this bus line might have departed from the Anthony Wholesale Grocery?
