There's Always Money: 1950

Dredged up a memory
Till I saw this photo, I'd forgotten how some Dairy Queens and other summer ice cream places used waxed paper cups as outdoor decorations. I didn't live anywhere near Buzzard Bay, but I remember our local ice cream shop also hung cups outdoors on a gibbet-like support, as shown here. I also remember how those cups - - those which remained - - looked after being outdoors in the wind, sun, and rain - - yikes.
I wonder whatever became of the giant bananas after the "Drink A Banana" campaign ended.
Banana Burt
He was evidently a bit of an entrepreneur. He also ran a motel in Bourne.
Still Serving
This building is still around, though it has been Betty Ann's Dairy Freeze since 1955.
It looks a little forlorn in the street view, which shows it closed for the winter, but during the season it's still a local favorite for burgers and soft serve ice cream.
