larger size) pizza at the regular

first location in 1967. The newspaper
coupon was good from about April 7, and
expired on April 15, 1969. Pickup only,
not valid for home delivery.
The regulation size baseball was produced by the Johnny Walker Brand of sporting goods,
also located in Detroit Michigan. The company Imported
athletic equipment which included;
Fishing gear, Volley ball sets, Tennis

gloves and baseballs. Johnny Walker Horsehide baseballs, from 1960 to 1973 were made in
Haiti.

"Leather," after
manufacturers switched to cowhide, and
were made in Jamaica. Johnny
