So that makes me curious. Up to now I have been more interested in the makers and the factories rather than the retailers.

I'm curious as to why there is little record of how the lower end was retailed. I don't think simply saying (which I am not saying you are alleging) that the records have been lost in the wars is sufficient. We know lots about life in Europe at that time. There are still people living who would remember good portions of it. PeteM, maybe you can shed a little light?? Or perhaps Gettemans, if and when he sees this.

Anyway, back to the topic. We're right, Ted's wrong. LOL

(No offense intended Ted. Just having fun.)

The world cries out for such: he is needed & needed badly- the man who can carry a message to Garcia
