I remember when I was a child, back when cartoons only came on tv on Saturday mornings, there was a commercial for Oscar Mayer bologna. It was the cutest little fella sitting on a dock fishing. He was eating a sandwich. He sang a tune that I can remember, word for word, to this day. Part of it spelled out Oscar, Mayer and bologna. I think those were some of the very first words I learned to spell...lol.
@@CathyHendrix1"My bologna has a first name it O-S-C-A-R, my bologna has a second name, it's M-A-Y-E-R, cause Oscar Mayer has a way with B-O-L-O-G-N-A." I'm pretty sure that's the whole song. Had to reach back in my mind for that one. 😂😂😂😂
Schaaf, Adam The Adam Schaaf Piano Company was established in Chicago in 1873, making them one of the pioneering firms of the midwestern United States. Adam Schaaf was known for building higher grade, good quality pianos and the firm enjoyed a stellar reputation. By the turn-of-the-century the company was controlled by sons Harry Schaaf and Fred Schaaf. The firm was so successful that in the 1920’s a new state-of-the-art factory was built at Fillmore Street, Chicago. The firm built an impressive line of upright pianos, player pianos and grand pianos. In addition to pianos under the “Adam Schaaf” brand name, the firm produced pianos under the “Clarion” and “Orpheus” brand names, each offered as an affordable alternative to the costlier Adam Schaaf brand while still offering good quality. Sadly, Adam Schaaf’s huge success did not carry them through the Great Depression, and the firm was closed sometime in the early 1930s.
We're heading to Richmond for the 4th and staying a few minutes from Hollywood cemetery. I can't wait to explore that beautiful place. I enjoy these videos!
I recently went to a cemetery to pay my respects to a famous person. Neil Hope was a Canadian actor who was on the Degrassi series. He played Wheels. His life story was very sad. He passed away in a boarding house in Hamilton, Ontario. I am a fan of the show and wanted to visit that cemetery for a long time. He is buried at Woodland Cemetery in Burlington. His grave is located near the office. I was happy that I went.
I grew up in the Los Angeles area, in the 1960s and clearly remember the Weiner Mobile coming to the Saftway store next to where we lived and we would run over there and get a free oscar mayer weiner whistle from them. Also a Beany and Cecil mobile would come with a big spinnner on the top of it and hand out Beany and Cecil hats to us kids. Those were such fun days!
I remember the Weiner mobile making a uturn in front of my house. He was on his way to make an appearance at a baseball tournament nearby. Me and my neighborhood friends did our best to get the driver to stop but he kept going. I had to of been 4 years old. Funny how some childhood memories stay with you.

Thank you. That certainly explains the size of the tomb. I should have researched it beforehand 😀

Thank you and enjoy it. That’s one I haven’t made it to yet but hope to soon!
What a modest headstone. Looks a lot like the headstone for Paul Bryant.
Cool to see, I'm definitely familiar with Oscar Mayer since I'm a meat department guy at the store I work at

It’s always interesting to track down people like that! 😀

Adam Schaaf made pianos and was very successful.
I expected a much more elaborate resting place. The brand lives on. I guess that’s a better legacy. Thanks.
I really did too.
Cemetery is just two blocks from me
That is awesome!
Just a simple grave. For someone who brought me so many delicious hotdogs 🌭
You seem to visit a lot in the Midwest. Are you from there?
Originally from the Chicago area!
