The Akron Beacon Journal, Ohio, February 14, 1922
I know how goes the quaint galosh,
The co-ed’s – they go squishety-squosh;
There ain’t a soul can make her stop
From lettin’ ‘em go k’flop, k’flop!
But now I’m on the avenoo,
Where flappers pass in...   High-res

The Akron Beacon Journal, Ohio, February 14, 1922

I know how goes the quaint galosh,
The co-ed’s – they go squishety-squosh;
There ain’t a soul can make her stop
From lettin’ ‘em go k’flop, k’flop!

But now I’m on the avenoo,
Where flappers pass in smart revoo;
Their antics don’t go squosh, no chap –
They’re flappers – they go flap, flap, flap!

Let ‘em squosh. Let ‘em flap. Let ‘em play advanced auction, flick a wicked cigaret ash, eat fudge, flaunt permanent waves, and say an occasional dammit!

Harrisburg Telegraph, Pennsylvania, March 8, 1940

Rhett Butler “Gone With the Wind” Jewelry

Hickok key chain with stone pendant. Massive in design… in key with today’s style trend, $2.50.
Tie Clip, styled as musket vintage of ‘61 …. $1
Saber Tie Clip by Hickok with Alligator Grip … $1
Hickok Chain Tie Clip in authentic design … with picture locket … $1.50

See this smart new Hickok jewelry… as masculine as this dashing hero… as gallant as his times. Right in style today as it was in the ‘60′s.

And here it is, sold by Nate and Sanders auctioneers:

It sold for auction for $5,027; they think this set might’ve been owned by the Vice President of Hickok’s, and that it was probably a salesman’s sample, because of the way each piece is laid out with prices.

Another picture of the locket, from ebay:

A $100,000.00 pearl gown, to be auctioned off for the Damon Runyon Memorial Fund for Cancer Research, is shown at Bullock’s department store leading up to the auction and is always heavily guarded. 

Here, it is being modeled for chairman of the board of directors of the California Institute for Cancer Research, Louis H. Seagrave, and to the general manager of Bullock’s, Philip Corrin, Los Angeles, 1952.
