Ninety Years Hidden

I found some bunched-up newspapers from the early 1920s in the floor of a house I'm working on. They were used as insulation around the hot water pipes connected to a radiator.

"Three Young Women Sail For Relief Work" Jan. 30, 1921
This particular wad is from a copy of the (Philadelphia) Evening Bulletin.

I saved some of the scraps in a grocery bag, but they fall apart at the touch. I'll save them for a rainy day before I try to discover any more old news.

In a classified ad I spotted a used Hupmobile for sale! That car company was in its heyday in the early twenties, but the last one rolled off the assembly line in 1939 and now is remembered only by antique car wonks. People who remember them generally say good things about the Hupmobile.
