 Includes NotesNotes for Frederick L. Sparks:
Ken Genest has a photo of him taken at "The Home Studio", 514 Main Street, Worcester, Mass.
"He was very nice. Proper, but kindly and gentle." --Ken Genest
"My grandfather Sparks was a traveling sales man who lived separate fro my grandmother, I called him Pop-pop, which is what Frances's daughters Brittany & Nicole) call me." - Rich Genest
"Pop-Pop sold a variety of things---not all at the same time, though. Once he felt that it would be a good idea to introduce ME to selling, too, so he sold me 100 fly stickers at 1 cent each (nasty things, but they really worked), and suggested a price---2 cents each. (It was 1939, and I was 10 years old.) I made a small sign, which I attached to the top of a short stick (about 30") that I carried, with some of the fly stickers in their little round cases resting in a little box that I made and attached to the middle of the stick. This was shortly after Dad opened his first tire store (51 Pratt St., I think), in Meriden, CT. Since there were several other stores in the neighborhood, plus a firehouse next door, it wasn't long before I sold most of the fly stickers." --Rich Genest
