My father and mother operated a country store about five miles south of Yantis Texas. I have watched my father draw up a can of coal oil for a customer. Most had lost the cap for the spout on the can. My father would get an Irish potato from the potato bin and stick on the spout to keep the customer from spilling the contents. This would have been in the early forties since I was born 1941. I would have been between two and three years old and I can see that as plain as the post I am writing.
