The Ford Barn

To bring up something really obscure, there was a TV puppet show in the early 50's called "Time for Beanie". The fiberglass statue on the sign looks a lot like the "Beany" character from that TV show. Anyone else remember the show (with "Cecil the Seasick Sea-Serpant", "Uncle Captain", and "Dishonest John"?) I wonder if there was any business tie-in between the show and the restaurant?

Yep, Beany and Cecil.

I remember "collecting" enough on the paper route every Saturday morning until I had enough to pay the "bill" at 5:00 that evening. The un-collecteds were profit, left to be collected as something I needed came-up during the week. Bought my first old Ford ('39 DeLuxe) for $65 with newspaper money. DD
