   Thanks for posting that link to a quaint and interesting little booklet.

   I downloaded the file...
   I will re-read it when I can do so properly.
   That is really neat.
   Thank you.

   This is a very interesting book! I did see a reference on one of the pages to 1936 as being the date of acquisition of one of the items in the booklet. One thing I found strange is that Highland Targe was not mentioned as being one of the Rattray blends. It must have been introduced at some time after the booklet was put together.

   May your hands always be busy, May your feet always be swift. May you have a strong foundation When the winds of changes shift.
   May your heart always be joyful, and may your song always be sung, May you stay forever young! Bob Dylan

   I thought it was awesome that he mentioned the carved wooden figures. I always thought they were cool but people get all offended by them now. Totally cool, even for a guy like me who just likes to smoke the stuff.
