Message: browny : I think that's it by the way you described it, but I didn't remember the name. I think it came in a 10 oz. bottle. It was good drinking it cold as it was or mixing with vanilla ice cream. It was super sweet. Miss it.

Message: There was a soda line in the 50!s called Squeeze . They had a lime colored-lime flavored soda,that was super sweet, and tasted like lollipops. There was lemon and orange also. It was bottled in New York, but some local stores carried it. It was bought up by a Texas bottler.

Message: I was wondering if anyone can help me on this one. There was supposed to be a tattoo shop in Wilmington that closed up around 1947. My uncle said he used to stand on the sidewalk and watch the artist tattoo in the front window. I believe he said it was on French Street but I could be wrong. Any info anyone might have on this place would be helpful. Thanks.

Message: Does anyone remember a lime soda, not lemon-lime, from the 1950's ? It came in a clear bottle and the color of the soda was green. I forget the name of the bottler. It might have been Mundorff. My grandfather sold it at his store on Elm and Jackson. Can't find it anymore.

Message: When Webmaster took photos from the top of Rockford Tower I asked where the yellow smokestack in the pix was located. Today we went to the Delaware Art Museum and as you drive out the exit road, at the foot of the parking spaces, the stack can be seen in it's entirety. It is alone with nothing around or by it and it goes down to ground - not to any buildings. It appears to be on Mill Road. Perhaps it was part of Bancroft Cotton MIlls?
