DIXIE FOUNDRY - promotional skillet

S. B. Rymer Sr. was a native of Polk County. In 1916 he established Dixie Foundry Company. It initially produced cast-iron holloware used for corn stick molds, fireplace grates and frames, sugar pots, and teapots. In 1921 the company began to make coal and wood ranges for the kitchen; thereafter, ranges of different sorts have been the company's main items. In 1924 production expanded to coal and wood heaters. Gas ranges came off the company's lines in 1928, and in 1952 Dixie Foundry produced its first electric ranges.

In 1958 Dixie Foundry acquired Magic Chef, which had been a St. Louis-based manufacturer of gas ranges and an industry leader since the 1930s. Two years later, company officials decided to capitalize on the consumer name recognition of "Magic Chef." They changed the company's name from Dixie Foundry to Magic Chef. Within a year the company had reasserted its leadership in the national market for gas and electric ranges, and by 1969 the corporation had achieved 11 percent of the market share in the United States.

(more a demand than question) We gave the standard answer: "No thanks, we're just looking." He then yelled: "IF YOU'RE NOT GONNA BUY ANYTHING, GET OUTTA HERE!" (We skedaddled.)

The store became OTASCO somewhere around 1971

When I went to him he was a little, old doctor who would give you a shot! Before you told him what was wrong, he was loading a syringe with penicillin. The last time I went to him, I think he had outlived all his help. He came out and said (in a weak, little voice): "Who's next?"
After I got my shot, he walked me out and said: "8 dollars".
I gave him a TEN, he opened his wallet and gave me two ONES.

Speck Hospital 
Inman Street in Cleveland TN
(Where I was born)
Dr. Arnold delivered me.
Dr. Sullivan was supposed to deliver me, but went to a rehearsal dinner for his daughter's wedding.
He had delivered my mom, my aunt Sadie and uncle Danny.
My grandmother got mad at him because he "ran off" and didn't deliver me.
Mom said he peeked his head in the next morning and sheepishly asked: "Is Granny here?
Mom said they brought a baby girl in to her and she said: "THAT'S NOT MY BABY!"
(Does anyone know the name of this girl who was born on or about March 27, 1952???)

Morris McClary was born 3 days before me and he has always said they tried to switch me and him once.
(My pediatrician was Dr. Appling.)

    (I think he was on 2nd Street when I remember going to him.)

    He was a little doctor who would give you a shot!
    Before you told him what was wrong, he was loading a syringe with penicillin.
    The last time I went to him, I think he had outlived all his help.
    He came out and said (in a weak, little voice): "Who's next?"
    After I got my shot, he walked me out and said: "8 dollars".
    I gave him a TEN, he opened his wallet and gave me two ONES.

    Lion Mauls Child Cleveland Tennessee.

    Scene Tragique Dans Un Theatre
    Un lien appriviese saute sur le public et emporte un enfant

    [ Un lien apprivoise saute sur le public et emporte un enfant ]

    Supposedly this is a photo of an original print from the Le Petit Journal 
    showing a lion mauling a small child at a theater performance at Cleveland, Tennessee in 1910. 

    [Reportedly the Le Petit Journal was one of the most widely circulated news journals in the late 1800s and early 1900s.]

    I just came across this pic on the internet, but cannot find any information about it!?!?

    It appears the lion leapt off the stage, snatched a child from the arms of its mother (see lady reaching) 
    and climbed across the orchestra back on the stage. 

    Does anyone have any information on this incident????

    A little about me, the Webmaster and my relationship with Cleveland:

    speck_hospital_a400
    I was born in Speck Hospital  in Cleveland in March, 1952.
    (Mom said the nurse later brought in a girl baby to her and she said: "THAT'S NOT MY BABY!", so they found me somewhere and brought me in.)

    I grew up in the Benton Station Community of Polk County, but Cleveland was "town" to us.

     

    I remember....... 

    going to the Princess Theater while mom shopped.

    (We always thought that mean something.)


     

    woolworth-cleveland-tn-1960s

    F. W. Woolworth's on Ocoee Street in the 1950's
    (I can still see the toys in the bins there.)
    (Once I got some "bubbles" there, went outside and started blowing them. Those bubbles floated up and down Ocoee Street for a couple of hours!!)

     

    I also remember walking around the stone wall at the church across the street from Woolworth's.

     

    I remember getting my shoes at Appler's Shoe Store. 


    (I always wanted Poll Parrot because they offered a toy.) (I think I got a clicker once.)

    When I was about 15 my best buddy, Steve Burgess, was 16 and had his license.

    We cruised Cleveland most every Friday night, Saturday night and Sunday afternoon

    in his family's '62 Ford.

    THEN, I got MY license at 16 in 1968 and then I could cruise in Mom & Dad's 

    1967 Camaro 

    They traded in their '55 Ford at Hall Chevrolet for this Camaro. (It listed for $3,071.00)
    We would stay out until 2:00 AM sometimes, but it was all innocent back then.
    We didn't drink or even smoke. We were just cruising to meet GIRLS (and later on, get up races AND meet girls)!


    This pic taken of the Webmaster in 1971 (the lanky years!)

    around the "Mud Hole" at the Sugar 'n Spice

    Photos Wanted drwebman.com
    around the Dairy Kreme (formerly The Little Pig) 

    and back up to the Village.


    The only radio station I listened to was "Jet Fli, WFLI" AM with Tommy Jet.
    "And, on we go with the musical show and down beat, beat, beat, beat, beat....."


    (Does anyone remember the Sugar & Spice Drive-in restaurant jingle on WFLI?) 

    (Sung to the tune of Turkey in the Straw) 
    "I'm going to the Sugar, to the Sugar & Spice. 
    It's up in Cleveland Tennessee. 
    Where the service is good and the ( food?) is best. 
    Come go with me to the Sugar and Spice." 

    and, a spoken commercial:
    "Say man. Do you have a Sugar & Spice barbeque sandwich in your mouth??"
    "What?"
    "Do you have a Sugar & Spice barbeque sandwich in your mouth??"
    "What?"
    "Do you have a Sugar & Spice barbeque sandwich in your mouth??"
    "I can't hear you, man! I've got a Sugar & Spice barbeque sandwich in my mouth!"

     

    Cleveland had lots of cute girls back then. 


    Does anyone remember the back row of the Star Vue Drive-In Theater?
    (My first cousin, John Lea, used to work security there and draw the bingo numbers on Saturday nights.)
    [Did anyone ever back in the EXIT to keep from paying? How about putting your friends in the trunk??]

    In 1968 I got my first real job, bagging groceries at....
    M.C. Headrick

    MC Headrick Super Market
    on Keith Street, across from the Village
    "Where prices are born and raised elsewhere"

    I worked with John Paul Douglas, Pee Wee Ingle," Scrooge" Headrick, Rusty Everett, Steve Hixon, and ????
    We kept the Burger Chef in business, I think
    I worked there about a year.

    I graduated from Polk County in 1970 and that Summer I got a job at 

    Magic Chef as an "Assembler" in the "gas line".
    (I worked there one lonnnng day and told them I wouldn't be back.)


    So, I got a 3rd shift job at DUPLAN CORPORATION.

    Jerry Richardson and I worked there as "material handlers" and someone really messed-up one time. They processed yarn that were used in panty hose and only told us to keep the operators supplied with the same yarn they were using. The spools were different colors and if they were using purple. red. blue, yellow, etc..., we got them more of the same color when they ran low.  After we had worked there about a month, our boss called us into the office and held up some panty hose that had one dark leg and one light leg. He said that mistake cost the company about $1,500.  (Oops!)

     

    In the Fall of 1970 I enrolled at Cleveland State Community College in the Architecture program. After that I learned it would only transfer to Memphis State. Then, I started getting profs that tried to tear down my religious beliefs. I started becoming disenfranchised with the "college scene" and struck out to make my own way.

    In the Summer of '71 I got a job as an Inspector at Cleveland Chair Company (photo wanted of this company)

    I went back to CSCC that fall and after a quarter and a half, I left and got a job as a "Service Writer" at 

    Hall Chevrolet at Five Points (photo wanted) and worked there for a couple of years.

    I went back to CSCC for part of another quarter and then

    I worked  as "Red Badge" Salesman form '74 to '75 at

    the Sears Automotive Center at the Cleveland Mall  (photo wanted)

    and lived at the 

    Marquis Apartments (photo wanted)

    tape_city_101_500
    In '75 I left Sears to open my own business, Tape City, in Athens TN

    But, Cleveland kept calling me home and in '78 I opened a 2nd Tape City in Keith Street Plaza
