And now, a word from our sponsor

 


Somewhere, still buried in a box of random newspaper clippings, magazines and ancient political cartoons, in the back of a closet (I hope), there is a full-color, fold-out brochure from the early 1900s illustrating the many models of wagons, carriages, etc. that were manufactured by Studebaker before the company got into automobiles. If it turns up, I'll post a photo of it.

    If Studebaker had just stuck with wagons instead of chasing that silly horseless carriage fad they'd still be in business today!

  2. Yeah, I guess they should have stuck with the basics.

    Btw, I still think it's hilarious that Studebaker had a model back in the 20s and 30s called the Dictator.

  4. I like how they used an emoji before the last sentence.

    And you thought emojis were an internet thing. :-)
