Something about their age I guess.<br /><br />I despise commercials, but love the one's from the 1950's (before my time)...they can't harm us now I suppose.<br /><br />Though I'd MUCH rather see the good stuff and feel better after. Thanks for bringing us this historical piece of trash. I hope we all learn from it.Unca Jeffyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02292248615715408243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7157513690234917810.post-35890261551794438902010-05-14T10:19:12.621-07:002010-05-14T10:19:12.621-07:00Proof that the Golden Age was not always golden. ...Proof that the Golden Age was not always golden.

It just was a little gesture hopping to help in some way. After all, what is The Internet for?

Thanks, as well, for your very kind and sympathetic post on my financial plight.<br /><br />For some odd reason, I could not write a reply to that posting on your blog. So this is my way of saying thanks, friend!<br /><br />I will admit, the "Little Lizzie" story has a peculiar allure. It's rather hypnotizing!Frank M.

Actually we can see this <i>naïf</i> peculiarity throughout the story.<br />Obviously it doesn't reisist the comparison with Stanley's work.<br />But the thing is -in some perverse way- I liked it. Probably in account of its oddity more than its quality... <br /><br />Thanks, Frank for another great find and post!!Gabrielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16795779964678109450noreply@blogger.com
