pipedreams Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 A great woman erased from history by idiots. The branding of the syrup was a tribute to this woman’s gifts and talents. Now future generations will not even know this beautiful woman existed. What a shame. The world knew her as “Aunt Jemima”, but her given name was Nancy Green and she was a true American success story. She was born a slave in 1834 Montgomery County, KY. and became a wealthy superstar in the advertising world, as its first living trademark. Green was 56-yrs old when she was selected as spokesperson for a new ready-mixed, self-rising pancake flour and made her debut in 1893 at a fair and exposition in Chicago. This was a remarkable woman, and sadly she has been ERASED by politics. I wanted you to know and remind you in this cancel culture time period. 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love the woman and the photo but I JUST HATE it when people circle stuff in photos especially in old photos. How easy would it have been for the person who screwed up this photo to make a notation at the bottom saying, "Nancy Green is the only black woman in this photo, wearing a plaid dress with a white apron." PS: And I know it wasn't you Pipe, no offence intended. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pipedreams Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Electric Bus and its charging station, London 1906. Electric cars were present more than 100 years ago - all is well forgotten old, or well hidden. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By Military and Civilian Loggers during WWI. Have seen several pictures of poles used instead of steel rails. All had double flanged wheels such as these. Have never seen a switch in such track. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going through a lot of old pictures on a friends personal site right now with a lot of old railroading pictures. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going through a lot of old pictures on a friends personal site right now with a lot of old railroading pictures. A stub switch could have been used - maybe. The frog - where rails cross - would have been problematic. Throwing the switch - bending the rails - would have been challenging with poles. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
railfancwb Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Became curious about the Edison electric car picture and its text, specifically the comment about a sodium ion battery. Found this which doesn’t mention that type battery. https://www.prewarcar.com/edison-s-electric-cars Other sources suggested that a sodium ion battery might compete effectively with lithium ion battery at some point. Oh well… 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
