This brings back images of the Grapes of Wrath days, when canvas bags of

Those continued to be sold in the area of Needles, CA, into the late
1960s at least. (Nothing to do with bike drink bottles, just me
remembering those things and also remembering I wasn't around during
the "Grapes of Wrath" days. More like the Grape Boycott days.)

My father used to sling those bags onto the front bumper
for road trips to the British Columbia interior during
the '50s and '60s. They were for when the car's radiator
boiled over. I even recall that the brand of the bags was
Pioneer, and they had on them a picture of some guy wearing
a peak hat.


cheers,
Tom
