My Cooter's History Blog has become about 80% World War II anyway, so I figured to start a blog specific to it, especially since we're commemorating its 70th anniversary and we are quickly losing this "Greatest Generation." The quote is taken from Pearl Harbor survivor Frank Curre, who was on the USS Tennessee that day. He died Dec. 7, 2011, seventy years to the day. His photo is below at right.

A Sycamore Store Closes Because of the War Shortages
From the November 22, 2017, MidWeek "Looking Back."
1942, 75 Years Ago.
"Because of the shortage of machines, and the inability to obtain repair parts, the Sycamore Implement Company will close its store here, which has been a aprt of the business section since 1937.
"All stock of the Sycamore store will be taken to DeKalb for the business there."
The War Was Really Good for Business...But Not Always. --GreGen
