Care for some Tang?
Found this online many years ago, and rediscovered it a few days ago amongst my thousands of pictures on various subjects...

Found these in a baggie of ephemera a couple years back
I would have put what they were in the header, but it kept thinking they were supposed to go elsewhere. Ridiculous.

A Little History: Jack Nicklaus in Norwester 1956
I found this at the Ohio Thrift some years ago for I think $1.99. I assume Jack was a junior here? And I was surprised to see him on the basketball team as well as the golf team. 70 years ago!

A Little History: A Couple Columbus Dispatch Ads from 08/02/1886
The first one was an ad for the upcoming Ohio State Fair, the first at the 17th Ave location, which makes this years' Fair the 140th year at the location; the other picture is another ad for the JM Stuart Undertaker, still located at 16 E Broad St (just across the street from the Statehouse)...I just found it funny that, 10 years after the invention of the telephone, the local undertaker would have one. "Morty here, you stab 'em, we slab 'em. What can I do you for?" :)

A Little History: Columbus Ohio Its History, Resources & Progress (1873) by Jacob Studer
This is a book I found at the Main Library in Columbus some years back, in their Bookstore section. I think I paid $2 for it. The book has the beginnings of Columbus, from 1812 to the time the book was published (1873). It has illustrations of the buildings, companies, churches and government facilities. The history part is exhaustive; I've included the part on John H. Morgan (of Morgan's Raiders infamy) and his six confederates, how they were imprisoned at the Ohio Pen downtown, and their escape.
I also included a couple of the ads in the volume, including one for the (Columbus) Daily Dispatch, only a couple years old by this point; and an ad for Stuart & Nash Undertakers, which used to be on 16 E Broad St. Oh, they were the patentors of the "Nash Corpse Preserver", which I suppose in the days before electric refrigeration, would be pretty important, especially in those hot Columbus summers.
I'm pretty sure you can find digital copies on the Internet Archive with a little searching. It's well worth it for those interested in the history of our fair city.

He'll meow loudly and repeatedly until he gets his wish, then he'll purr continually while up there.
