Sooo, as I'm going through old news clippings I find a snippet on a "Mattress Party" held at the Adirondack school house. It peaked my interest! After a little research, I found that in the 1940's the government had a surplus of cotton. These "parties" taught by USDA extension workers. Ticking and cotton were provided for families with an annual income under $400 . In October of 1941 16 of these mattresses had been completed.
Has anyone else heard of these?

Looking for info! Victor Schwentker brought the first Mongolian Gerbils into the United States and developed a very successful business raising these for the war effort during WWII. Many people from this area worked at Tumblebrook farm as well as visiting the farm on class trips. Does anyone have stories they would be willing to share? I'd like to put together a display, but would love some first hand stories.
