In Culture
In Minnesota after WWII and into the mid-century, "Hamm's" was a common synonym for beer, as in "It's been a long day - let's get a Hamm's", or packing for a summer picnic, "Don't forget to put in the Hamm's!"
William Hamm, Jr. was kidnapped in St. Paul by the Barker-Karpis Gang in the 1930s. The subsequent investigation by the FBI employed the first attempt at raising latent fingerprints from paper ransom notes.

Famous quotes containing the word culture:
“The second fundamental feature of culture is that all culture has an element of striving.”
—Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
“Here in the U.S., culture is not that delicious panacea which we Europeans consume in a sacramental mental space and which has its own special columns in the newspapers—and in people’s minds. Culture is space, speed, cinema, technology. This culture is authentic, if anything can be said to be authentic.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
