3F54 The Little Hostess
Same
scalloped design as the New Hostess but much
smaller. One of the rarest of the 3-series in green, black
or ivory. The black one probably has silver hardware but I don't
know if I've ever seen one. This one is old enough to have braided,
"maple"- colored cord. I've now lived long enough to buy braided
rayon cord in almost any color I need (which is better than the alternatives).

3,016,000,000 Feet of Fine Copper Wire Used By Warren
Telechron Co., Annually
OVER 100,000 pounds of copper wire of approximately the diameter of a human hair will be used by the Warren Telechron Company in Ashland, Massachusetts, in the construction of coils for its synchronous electric clocks this year. THIS wire, which averages about 28,000 feet per pound, adds up to a total running length of 3,016, 000,000 feet and if stretched out in a single length would encircle the globe 23.2 times. |
