Pearl Millings don't sound very appetizing.

In protest, I don't buy "Pearl Milling" anything! I know, Pearl probably makes the "store brands", it is in the name.

Pearl Milling, 1889, started in St Joseph, MO. A little South of John Linebaugh’s birthplace. About 30 years after Pony Express. My birthplace in 1957.

FYI: There was a Sambo's in Reno. Once in the mid of the night, my gf had a craving for a chili dog. NO, she was not pregnant! We drove to the restaurant and I told her to wait in the car. I went inside and checked the menu, but there was no hot dog on the menu. I asked the waitress if they had any as my pregnant wife had a craving for one. She said she would look to see what the cook could make. She came back with one to go. Great service in those days. She got a generous tip for that. My gf appreciated that I could get one in the middle of the night and we didn't have to drive all the way to the center of town to where the casinos were then.

When i was stationed at Ft Huachuca AZ there was a "Sambo's". I went TDY to Korea for a little over a month, when I came back the name had been changed to "Uncle Sam's"

funny thing about Sambos. It had nothing to do with African Americans. Apparently they never bothered to read the story before they made a fuss.
