TR stories: Even Idaho residents knew about The Good Stuff
Robert from Huntsville, Alabama, wrote us an e-mail with this Templeton Rye story:
I grew up two miles west of Templeton. In 1948, 18 of us FFA students took a 4000-mile trip out west. While in a town in Idaho, a man saw “Manning, Iowa” on the back of our FFA jackets and stated, “Is that anywhere near Templeton, Iowa?” I asked him how he knew about Templeton. He said, “That’s where Templeton Rye was made.”
Just goes to show that TR was still notorious 15 years after Prohibition and many states away. Got a TR story of your own to share? Please leave a comment below, or click here to tell us all about it.
