THIS GRAPHIC WILL WARM THE HEART OF THOSE OF US IN THE OVER 65 GENERATION. JUST LOOK AT THE FASCINATING VESTIGES OF THE PAST! THIS ENGRAVING ACCOMPANIED ONE OF MY "THE WAY WE WERE" COLUMNS IN JACK LACY'S LATE, LAMENTED "MERCER MESSENGER." FOR THE YOUNGER VIEWERS OF THIS SITE A MINI DESCRIPTION IS IN ORDER. THERE'S AN OLD KEROSENE STOVE, A PAIR OF "HIGH TOPS," A PUNCH BOARD, A 12 OZ. BOTTLE OF 5 CENT PEPSI, A CASTANEA (TRENTON) MILK DELIVERY TRUCK, A $1.98 GILBERT "ERECTOR SET," AND A TRENTON TIMES "18 SHOPPING DAYS 'TIL CHRISTMAS CARTOON. THE "SHREDDED RALSTON" CEREAL HAS MORPHED INTO 21ST CENTURY "WHEAT CHEX." THERE'S NO NEED TO EXPLAIN THE GAIETY MOVIE AD, THE OLD FASHIONED REFRIGERATOR, AND THE SLED. THAT AIRPLANE IN THE UPPER RIGHT? JUST ONE OF MY "FAVORITE THINGS;" A VINTAGE 1930'S "TAILSPIN TOMMY" TYPE MONOPLANE WITH WHEEL"PANTS."
