I always wanted my parents to stop at when I was a kid.
The atmosphere that was outside as we drove by made me think it was a carnival.

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.

The owner (manager?) was an *ss! My best friend, Steve Burgess, and I were about 10 or 12 years old and in the store. He stomped up, glared down at us and gruffly asked "CAN I HELP YOU!?" (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
