1940 Adair Sales Calendar 2012-02-21 - Campbellsville Street, Columbia, KY - Photo from the colletion of Larry Smith. Larry Smith, whom some may recall from way back has appeared out of nowhere after an long, still unexplained absence - with this photo which will probably redeem him with some readers. It's of an advertising calendar from Adair Sales Co., the Columbia Ford Dealership, then located just off the Square on Campbellsville Street and was owned by Morris Epperson and Louis Merkely at the time. It's from a great age in calendars, when advertising was pure art. The caption reads, "This ought to fix ya, Pa." The dealership later moved to 203 Burkesville Street where it was operated as Adair Sales, then as Smith-Flowers, then Flowers Ford, before being acquired by Don Franklin, who moved the dealership to its present location on Hudson Street and operates as Don Franklin Ford.
