Budlong Pickle Company
Lyman A. Budlong
- ... that a "pickle train" delivered workers to the Budlong Pickle Company (founder pictured) in the early 20th century? See article here. Res isn't great: it reads: "Conductor John Hughes' 'pickle train' on the Northwestern road … leaves its … passengers on a lonely switch about five miles southwest of Evanston … each one … has a pasteboard ticket … reading 'Good for one passage between Clybourn junction and Budlong farm"
- ALT1:... that the Budlong Pickle Company (founder pictured) reportedly had the largest pickle farm in the world in 1903? Title is "Largest pickle farm in the world is in Chicago"

- Comment: This was a rescue at AfD; the nomination has been withdrawn, although the AfD template is still on the page. I'm confident that the image is in the public domain (see further description on the Commons page). The prose size script gives me 695 B for the old version and 3533 B for the current version; 5*695 = 3475 < 3533 (but only just).
AfD is now closed; ready for review. AleatoryPonderings (talk) 19:25, 3 August 2020 (UTC)
5x expanded by AleatoryPonderings (talk). Created by msh210. Nominated by AleatoryPonderings at 14:18, 29 July 2020 (UTC).
5X expansion. QPQ done. Earwig passed. Well cited. Hooks both cited. Image isn't that thrilling, and is not a pickle. ;-) --evrik (talk) 16:16, 14 August 2020 (UTC)
- @Evrik: Thanks for your review :) Agree the image is pretty lame; put it up mainly because it's such an excellent scan. Was hoping to find a cute advertisement for one of their pickles, but alas … AleatoryPonderings (talk) 16:33, 14 August 2020 (UTC)
