In a well-known quote about Cas, his political mentor-turned-rival, George Dempster, once said, “If I ordered a whole carload of SOB’s and they just sent Cas, I’d sign for the shipment.”

Am I old that I actually remember Cas Walker grocery stores? Or are most of you just not familiar with Knoxville's past?

Also, Reverend and Mrs. Mull used to do radio ads for Cas. One of the funnier ads was Mrs. Mull declaring Cas Walker had the biggest nuts in town.

When I was a kid, I'd always go with my Pappaw when he went to Cas Walker, and he'd always buy me a candy bar.

I think Cas's show actually stayed on air until about 1983.

I did go to a handful of the stores as a child of the 70s including some bargain basements.

Dempster and his brother actually invented the garbage dumpster and Cas would still beneath them.
