Shit! I was in Toledo last winter. Is there any worst place than that city in the whole of the USA?
Moose, that vibration machine mentioned and shown above is very similar to the Penny Arcade foot machine we used to use at Playland at the Beach in SF back in the much earlier days. Put a nickle in and let it shake the hell out of your tired feet. When we were kids we used to use it all the time.
I told the guy who was demonstrating this $9,000 vibrator at the Expo that, "If this thing works, I'd have the most muscle-bound feet in existence!"
He insisted that it was capable of doing all sorts of developmental stuff. I merely laughed and said, "OK", but it is my understanding that the MMA guys like it for some unknown reason.
There were at least 4 major companies displaying similar contraptions.
Looks like those old time vitamin salesmen have now graduated into hardward sales.
Moose, I did meet Rheo back around 1963, but I don't know his real name. He or his associates were selling the product in a small shop off to the side of some lake in the middle of the city someplace. I bought it and have to admit that it tasted great. Wasn't it solely an egg product? I think I paid $12 for the large cannister but don't rely on me for that statement.
Another competitor was selling beef liver protein. Do you recall that one. Tasted terrible.
No, MLO was produced in the Heyward, California area. Owner was MillardWilliamson. A good friend of mine use to shovel it into smaller cans from a 55 gallon drums.
More to follow. Heading off....
