ALUMINUM COLLECTORS Russell Cook and his
father “Woppy” hand some of their aluminum over to
Reynolds employee Mike Brinkley. Russell had a total of
eighty pounds of cans and forty-two pounds of scrap, which
earned him $16.20. The most aluminum sold by one person for
the day was 145 lb. by Doyle Johnson, for $21.75. Mrs. T. A.
Carmichael turned in 81 pounds of cans for $12.15. The total
haul for the day was 645 pounds, and the total paid out was
$94.65, which was much better for the first day, according to
Mike, than areas of much larger population. Reynolds big
red, white and blue van will be in Flovilla again on May 26
from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m.
