Originally posted by waterfall Actually TORBEVEST is a small hill in South Dakota near Hetland. Locals call it Mt. Torbevest. Name came from an itinerant pots and pans salesman back in the Depression, whose name was Torvald, shortened to Torbe. Torvald dressed in a tuxedo, complete with vest and cummerbund and was legendary for selling no new fangled aluminum pots or pans. He also traded,in cast iron cookware which was well received. Torvald's Model A Ford succumbed to the weight of cast iron, went into a ditch, and floated down the Missouri River. Ultimately Torbe and his A became a shoals near Hocir, Arkansas close to the confluence of the Yazoo and Mississippi. Torbe never had a chance to buy a K3.
...and now we know The Rest Of the Story...Good Day!!
