The photo above is a Central New York winter classic.
Captured by Herald-Journal photographer Art Cornelius, it appeared on the front page of the paper on Feb. 20, 1958.
It was titled, “TAILOR-MADE,” and its caption said simply:
“Super snow makes a super slide possible in Fulton. Flying saucers zip 40 feet from the barn roof to the ground. The barn is owned by Donald Powers of 719 Fremont Street.”
