| Sansfoy, Purina |
One of the people who poses a question to the Question Box moderator, who in Chicago saw "men tramping down...the street. Each was carrying a bowling ball and the bowling balls were attached to each by ropes." They also held a banner that says to canonize Barry Fitzgerald. She guesses it was a rosary of some kind [St. Fidgeta & Other Parodies, 43].
"The feedstore name (half of Ralston-Purina) does look like a woman's name because of the ending, and an emphasis on purity always seemed to be at the top of the Catholic agenda where young ladies were involved," says Bowen. "Sansfoy means 'without faith' or 'faithless.' The French word is now spelled foi,but foy was a common spelling in the past and is fossilized in such names as Purefoy."
