Mary’s youngest boy, Christopher, refused Mary’s pickles for man, many years. He insisted on Klauson’s Dill Pickles. He woke up one day at the advanced age of 18 or so when he realized that his friends were all raving about Mary’s dills. He changed his tune and has been carrying on production of Mary’s dills. This year he made 207 quarts! He has even gained admission into events by paying with a jar of pickles! Perhaps we will see a label in the stores for Mary Thayer’s Dill Pickles?
