Now I repeat, we met so many nice people that it is impossible to list them. One exhibitor from Pa. attending Cheraw's first annual (1970) show liked the mid-April weather so much he stayed a week to bask in the sunshine. He told me that he was staying two weeks at Cheraw's April 1971 show. He then said if I would get a U-Haul he would give us an oil well pump. We have two streams through the gardens that surround Antique Acres and use irrigation water at the rate of 3,000,000 gallons per day, and therefore collect pumps of every description. The U-Haul was at his oil field quicker than a Fordson can backfire. Are we proud to own and exhibit an oil well pump.

Arriving at the Alexander show, Bus Longrod of Albion, New York, or some inquiring reporter asked why an oil well owning yankee would give a non oil well owning southerner an oil well pump. I told him the donor was a real nice fellow and that I thought he got homesick when he stayed away from his squeeking oil well pumps too long. No longer will anyone have to winterize themselves in 18 inches of snow because of home sickness for oil well pump squeeks.

Each of the fourteen shows has something unique or different.

Our model table has steam line, air line, water line, vacuum line and electric line. The water line is for powering water devices like our water powered fan; the vacuum line powers our vacuum fan; and the electric line is for general usage.

Any one knowing of a unique fan for sale; powered by water, air, vacuum or hot air please advise me.

You have been most kind in helping locate certain items that can be more effective at Antique Acres than at most other shows like an old Hurdy-Gurdy water powered paddle mill that powered a gold mine stamping mill, a 12 inch water powered Pelton wheel, and a 6 inch water Turban wheel.

We were fortunate in getting a rice mill that is in perfect running condition. We have in mind trying 'chicken bog' on a few volunteers. The bog will be prepared by a cook that knows the exact number of grains of rice to mix with each three old chicken hens and each three feet of smokehouse dried country sausage but we need volunteers on operating the newly acquired rice husker-polisher.

Between shows we were guests at seven outstanding private collections.

Thank you again,

Margaret and Robert Rogers Antique Acres, Cheraw, S. C
