And the Government has done everything bass ackwards ever since. Emulated still by describing firing rates of "automatic" weapons, "high caliber" guns, high capacity "clips". "assault" weapons as current examples.

Looking at the Stens and thinking on our own M3 "Grease Gun" makes me wonder how different things may have turned out if Germany would have adopted "mass production" of good enough equipment instead of going the "fantastic best of the best super weapon" route.
The Sherman Tank is another example. Germany could have simply up gunned the Mark IV early on and tripled tank production.

The Alaskan and PNW salmon trade was a killer for boats; no maintenance, sailed hard and bad dangerous waters.

I wonder if those little girls' dresses were made from those flower printed flour sacks mentioned earlier.

March 15, 1945 - Bert Shepard begins a successful pitching tryout with the Washington Senators. Shepard's leg was amputated after a World War II flying mission. Shepard will pitch in only one game for the Senators, but his stint will be impressive. On August 4th, he will pitch five and one-third innings of one-run ball against the Boston Red Sox.

If that boy actually shoots that gun that way, he’s going to get a nice gash over his right eye.
That was my first thought. (Difficult to see on my cheep phone)
The site looks different. Maybe even more rare.

White Moon, a Northern Cheyenne who fought at the Battle of Little Bighorn held a US Springfield carbine, caliber .45, serial no. 48482, he took from a slain 7th Cavalry trooper on June 25, 1876. He gave the carbine to Thomas B. Marquis on June 24, 1927, soon after the doctor-historian took his picture. White Moon was 77 years old when he participated with fellow Northern Cheyenne Wooden Leg, Little Sun, Wolf Chief and Big Beaver at the 51st Little Bighorn Battle Reunion. He died in May 1931.

She was probably one of the first female sworn peace officers on that department. Dog-gone few female sworn personnel in 1970. Don't think there were more than 4 or 5 in the entire county of Ventura, CA

Way back in the day I remember getting chewing gum that listed the gum base as Hercules Gum Base, with the Hercules figure logo. I have searched the internet to find out more information. Various patents come up, and this photo also. Hercules was a major producer of all sorts of chemicals. The carboxymethyl cellulose gum shown is not gum base, but interesting anyway. It is used in food among other things. This is from digital.sciencehistory.org, and is a scene from Hercules' Hopewell, Virginia plant, 1951.
