    Judging from the range I'd say about 1937. The elaborately colored cabinet ranges went out of fashion very quickly. They peaked in popularity in about 1935, and had just about disappeared from the market by 1940. This appears to be a Hazel Dell Brown kitchen design for Armstrong Linoleum.

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    You make good and strong points. There are many areas where it is sheerest folly to assume that "both sides" have reasonable arguments, but in the discussion of health care every "improvement" involves important trade-offs, and reasonable, intelligent folk have good reason to differ as to...

    Once upon a time, Mole, Rat, Mr. Toad & Mr. Badger, lived an idyllic life down at the Willows

    I think of it more as a short vacation trip to Uncanny Valley. If one wants to visit "a terrifying nightmare world of fear and hallucination" as Miss Maine so perfectly expresses it, imagine a realistic CGI (or better yet, VR) version of, say, Fleischer's "Swing You Sinners". That experience...

    Blanck and Harris ended up having to pay $75 to the family of each victim. Their insurance policy paid them $400 for each dead worker. Murder (well, manslaughter) can be quite profitable, it seems.

    Yes. I went to replace the shaving brush that I've been using since my college days, and somehow arranged to have a new badger hair brush mailed every month. It took six months to get the subscription stopped, so now I have about a quarter of a millennium's worth if shaving brushes on the shelf

    He has a kind face. I cant imagine that he was up to all that much. Probably helped to set his no-good brother-in-law in business. He ended his days in Sunny California.

    Oh, I don't know. You might come up to spend the week-end at the Grand Hotel Abyss. It is quite pleasant from time to time. Lately I have found it perplexing in the extreme to note that those who reflexively reject the Yama-Yama man which is their image of the Neue Schule are quickest to...

    The 85HP straight six in this machine can properly the car at 80, though it us much happier at 50 or 55. If I was planning to regularly drive it on the interstate I'd want to put in a Miller or Borg Warner overdrive.
