I've had one consistent item in abundance at my dumpster for over a year and a half. Without fail there are always tons of these. I could never figure out what to do with them,but I felt there had to be something. And since I'm homeless... And want to do anything to get myself out of this situation.... legally... I figured I would just start collecting as many as I could every night and something would click. One night it hit me " everyone uses these... everyone. And if it's between people going to Walmart and putting more money into the machine, maybe buying them from someone who is struggling to get a roof back over his head, doing it legally, also using a recycled product and cheaper than hopefully the other guys, 8 said "ok, let's do this"

So I sorted, cleaned, bundled up by color and stacks of 10, 5, and singles. And decided to call my side hustle " Second Chance Hangers"

10 packs of nice plastic hangers are $3-$4 bucks. A 5bpack of wooden hangers $5

And designer hanger $1 a piece

Right now I have a pretty good inventory, and it gets better every night".

Just thought I would share that and maybe it would help someone else somehow

Have a great day everyone

At least it's been working out for me. The past month I've been going to a few dumpers and getting as many good condition plastic, wood and designer clothes hangers. And it's been ok actually

I collect,clean, sort, bundle and ship. I have bundles if plastics of 10 for $3-$4 ( usually people pay more). I have some in packs of 5 for $5 for wooden and selling really good high quality for $1 a piece or name your price. It's helping for sure, not making any boat payments by any means. Here's some pics. *** THIS IS BY NO MEANS A SELF PROMOTION, OR ANY TYPE OF SOLICITING***

Just thought I'd share.

Have a great day.

I stopped by to see if there was anything worth grabbing and kill some time at my self proclaimed "gold mine". This thing was packed, it's amazing I found this stuff at all...and while I was skimming through I saw a picture (the one I posted of the 2 women)that I posted. I thought "wow... That's amazing." And looked around and stared pulling paper after paper... I honestly couldn't even comprehend what I was looking at. I made sure i got everything I could see out of that place... Found a folder, and gently packed it all up and went back to my spot. I don't know if I have ever been so excited to inspect everything I just found.

I got back and told my wife to come see what I found. We both sat there basically silent except for the occasional "holy $hi+ look at this" if I'm being honest I I literally had chills the whole time reading and looking at this stuff. I hope I'm not sounding too dramatic or insane... But u had never seen anything like this first hand, and probably never would have. I don't know what to do with this stuff. I've held off on finding out more information about these people, even though it has sort of consumed my thoughts the most few days. I want to wait until I have a lot of time to do research. I want to know this person's story. I want to find out everything I can about him and his Its maybe his wife in the picture. The oldest date I have found was 1826 (birthdate). And from what I can tell after applying for citizenship it took I think 26 years before he was given US citizenship.Theres so much history that I don't know about in these papers. The paper from his home country (Sweden) I guess that declared he is no longer a "Subject" of Sweden, it says on there the "Kingdom of Sweden" and they have crossed out the word Kingdom and wrote in Republic of Sweden. I had no idea I lt was ever referred to as a kingdom.

Needless to say there's so much fascinating things to study in this find. I mean just the way they spoke back then, and just how insanely important all these papers were to someone's life.... I literally am holding someone history from over 100 years ago.

I wish I knew what was mailed with these stamps that they have saved. I assume the papers I have, I just want to know everything about this stuff.

I'm sorry if I'm making this way to big of a deal, but I can honestly say when my wife and I were going through this stuff I had literal chills over and over reading. I never have experienced anything like that. I almost felt like I shouldn't even have this stuff. It's Al in pristine condition (mostly).

I hope you guys enjoy looking at this stuff as much as I did. I don't know what to do with it all. Part of me wants to frame it all, part of me wants to call the university of Utah to see if someone there wants it, or a museum or something like that.

Any suggestions would be helpful. But first it's all coming with me to the LDS genealogy library here in Salt Lake.

I'll let y'all know what I find out.

ENJOY!!
