Jalopy Sandwich (1952; sloppy=jalopy?)

[Bapopik at AOL.COM]

   CHAIN STORE AGE was published by the same group as NATION'S RESTAURANT NEWS.  In each issue was a special section called "Fountain-Restaurant News," about 40-60 pages long.  (All food cites will be from this section.)  An "At the Fountain" column listed the specials at Woolworths and Walgreens all across the country.
   I haven't seen "sloppy joe" just yet, but I'm now at 1952.  I'll try to read some more today.
   Perhaps useful to "sloppy" is "jalopy," from CHAIN STORE AGE (Fountain-Restaurant News), May 1952, pg. 6, col. 2:
