IBM Country Club Cafeteria/IBM Bowling Team - Good food was available at the IBM Country Club Cafeteria, even during WWII. Alcohol was never allowed, being aligned with Thomas J. Watson’s beliefs. Much of the food was grown on the IBM farms.
In 1942, during the war, the gas shortage was so impactful that this IBM Bowling Team traveled to a tournament by horse and wagon. The horses and carts were supplied by the IBM farms.
