Casting Bread on the Waters, Do We Have the Courage to Do It.?
Question by Shirley T: Casting bread on the waters, do we have the courage to do it.?
There was a man in my town named Fuller that had Fuller’s Cafe. It was said Mr. Fuller never turned down a hungry person whether they had the money to pay or not. He had good food too.
During the Great Depression people were generous about feeding hoboes. Some say the hoboes marked generous families who gave them food. I understand there were small crudely made signs on U.S. Hwy 90 from Florida to California stating “Eat at Fuller’s Beaumont, Texas. ” Mr. Fuller never expected that. However U. S. Hwy 90 went right through downtown Beaumont and turned by Fuller’s Cafe. I don’t know if I would have the courage to do what he did. I am wondering about others?

Maybe, who knows.
It is a popular myth about how well the poor were treated in the Thirties. You need to read a bit deeper that the standard romances and find out who the Mainstreeters were!
Any readings of the newspaper pages from 1932 through 1940 give a very different picture!
