    Back then, before J.R. Simplot got his hands on the famous Idaho Russet potatoes, you actually could buy them. And they were huge! Northern Pacific Railway's advertised "Great Big Baked Potato" generally was around the weight of a standard sugar beet, if not shaped like one. The last time I ever got to buy a large Idaho Russet, it was 2/3rds the size of what the biggest used to be, and that was in '91. Haven't seen any since.

    Very rare Ford Meal Trucks were used at the sprawling Ford Factories to deliver hot meals to the workers. I do not know if any survived . These pictures were captured From an old Ford film.
