176. The Winchester Journal-Herald 1962

July 3, 1962 - Founder's Day for Winchester

Antiques are needed for window displays to be arranged by Winchester merchants beginning July 11 in observation of Founders Day. here Georgianna Overman, chairman of the historical windows committee, wearing authentic period costume, displays selections from her own antique doll collection, including wooden-wheeled doll-cart. Gene Keener, special events committee chairman, is holding a muzzle-loading rifle. At his right are Civil-war-vintage cap-and-ball revolvers, all from the Keeners' gun collection. Anyone having similar items on loan for window displays may check with either chairman. The antique will go directly from owner to merchant with a guarantee of safe handling.

It's Wooden -so it wouldn't work G. J. Conley, Founders Day treasurer, tried out one of the new souvenir wooden nickels on a parking meter while Mrs. Anne Nance looked on. The nickels are as good as gold, however, in trade at Winchester business establishments now and through the July 14-21 celebration.
