From the September 3, 1968 issue of the Windsor Star, is this ad from Hi-Ho restaurants.
Hi-Ho was a local chain of drive-in burger joints, that was founded in 1937. A letter was sent by the owner to Walt Disney asking permission to use “Hi-Ho”. A letter was sent back telling him to go ahead, no problem. Try that today! 🙂

AND WHO CAN FORGET BIG SCOOP ICE CREAM PARLOUR RIGHT NEXT DOOR TO KOZAKS ON OTTAWA ST. not only the ice cream, but their cheeseburgers were the best. unique GREAT taste that the BIG burger restaurants didnt have. dont know why it went down ? lack of business obviously. im glad it was a part of my life and part of my childhood memories. enjoy what you have today, because it might not be there tomorrow.
