Hi, back on the list after years of absence... to pass along a goodie to someone who will put it to use.
So, I just received this message from someone on another list: ********************************************** I'm in NYC, and a basement vault in a building I frequent is full of clothing related correspondence from the early 1900's. I was able to reach into the frozen door far enough to grab a hand-full of letters and at least a few were a hoot. (I may have lost those samples) Mainly about socks. They were insanely expensive! $50 or more in todays money. And this guy go on for pages of florid text about why he is not interested in whatever offer was being made, must have spent half a day typing that. There's about 10 linear feet, if you or anyone wants to get those, you're welcome. ********************************************** So, anyone interested in a bunch of early 20th-c clothing data?
