Hey John,
I heard that story years ago, let&#039;s see how well I can remember, it may or may not be accurate. As I recall, about the time you are speaking of, the Mailman brothers, found an aspiring socialite by the name of Hess, the same Hess of Hess Oil, who liked the liquid spirits well. They persuaded him to buy the empty Cletrac corporation, as well as I can determine he let trademarks and patents expire, and pretty much ignored the corporation. That was the end of Cletrac, except for us collectors and users. I hope this gives you something to use to advance your research. As I recall, this was one of the stories Bob Tallman told me, you might want to go back thru Bob&#039;s Tales, he could have possibly written something on it.
Hope to see you soon, Later, Andy
