Alex: No, Taft did a lot of advertising. He was eh, he did a lot of charity work. He was always on, I don’t know what station he was on, but he did a lot of advertising. Bob: Right, well, from our, from people who remember, one of the things he did was sponsor W.A. Clark from the St. Peter’s Primitive Church in Bessemer on WJLD around 1944-1945. Alex: And every Easter, he had a big Easter Egg Hunt out there in Fair Park, that’s my remembrance. Bob: Eh ha, is there. They wouldn’t be. I guess what I’m looking for as well is any memorabilia that would connect Epps Jewelers to anything that happened on WJLD? Alex: No, I that I don’t know. It’s been about 12 years since Taft has passed away and I don’t know of anything that is left from Epps Jewelry and before that he had a clothing store in town before he opened up Epps Jewelry, in the old Hammond Hotel. Are you from Birmingham? Bob: No, I’m from New York actually. Alex: Oh, so, I don’t know of any place that you can get any…He was also a sponsor of the wrestling matches at the City Auditorium. He and a fella, Danaberg, sponsored those wrestling matches. Bob: Hmmmm Alex: He was very friendly with…like you say, I forget which church it was… out there in Bessemer, he contributed to them quite a bit. Bob: Do you remember a name Deacon Richmond Davis? Alex: That sounds about right. That’s him. I think he’s passed away. Bob: uh huh Alex: Deacon Richmond David, that’s exactly right. Deacon Davis sponsored every year at Fair Park an Easter Egg Hunt and things of that nature. Bob: Ah eh, I see.
