Yeah, my dad worked at the Phillips plant and also at the carbon black plant. My mother used to hang her clean wash on the clothesline and by the time they were dry, they were also black. I remember setting pins at the bowling alley for 6 cents a line. I'd set 2 alleys at time, and after about 16 lines was so beat I could barely walk home, but it was either that or have no money at all. That was in the early 50's. Times were pretty tough for most folks in those parts, especially if their dad didn't work for Phillips. Bill
