Best Maid plant in Fprt Worth when his truck loaded
with 40-thousand pounds of pickles failed to make
causing
a turn at Berry and Riverside, the truck to
overturn and pour a portion of the pickles on the pave-
ment. According to company officials, the cargo is
worth about 18-thousand dollars, at present pickle
prices. An unidentified witness mistook the smell
of pickle juice for an explosive chemical, so he
an ambulance a
promply called the fire department.
Since the pickles didn't explode, the firemen washed
the juice off the street, which promply stopped up
the storm sewer.
