New Years Day in 1945 was pretty much “business as usual” during World War 2. Although the Allies were making substantial gains in their drive into Germany. The infamous Battle Of The Bulge that went on just before Christmas was now in the mopping up stages, with any gains the German Army made during…

B&B Brogan Doodlebug - @SmallCarsClub.com
The “B&B Specialty Company” was an American company, located in the town of Rossmoyne (Ohio). After the end of World War II, this company wanted to join the European trend for microcars.

Char Glimmer, conclusion (A Harshbarger Mills Story)
Char thumbs through a booklet of poses with Viv posing in her majorette uniform. Woody Garrett is taking the pictures. He’s using the Kodak Retina II that he’d ordered from Nick’s Camera Shop, and when he got the notice of its arrival, he caught the early bus to Burlington. In those days, the camera was seldom out of his hand. He’d go up and down the streets, taking pictures of everyone and…

NO MID-CENTURY WOMAN LEFT HOME FOR AN OUTING WITHOUT A LITTLE BLING
Whether it was a trip to town for the weekly shopping, the Women’s Club meeting or a visit to a friend in the hospital, a church service or a weekend in the city, most women’s jewelry boxes would have them covered. A simple, but elegant, pair of silver earrings purchased during that trip to Mexico would be perfect with a cotton shirt-dress or cotton blouse and capris at the grocery store. That…

1940's Women's Fashion Inventions
1940’s Women’s Fashion Inventions
1940’s Women’s fashion was a time of great restrictions on design, fabric, and trim materials. The war forced clothing designs to be simple yet it also forced manufactures to be creative with what they could use and invent new materials. The 1940’s brought about new women’s fashion inventions many of which are still around today.
The girdle. Prior to the 1940’s a women’s shape was made by metal…

Anatomy of a restaurateur: Clifford Clinton
Rarely is the word fantastical used to modify the word cafeteria. Nor are restaurant proprietors usually thought of as powerful vice crusaders. [cover, 1940s booklet; below Pacific Seas]
A major exception of the latter was Clifford Clinton, creator of two of Los Angeles’ most memorable cafeterias. Both Clifton’s Pacific Seas and Clifton’s Brookdale were indeed fantastical, exotic, and composed…

Raids over London: Spring was a little late that year.

News for this day in 1941 (the 565th day of the War in Europe) had to do with the devastating overnight raids in London, reported to be the worst in a year, since the Blitz in 1940. The target for the previous evening was the Financial District with heavy damage and…

Crosley Hotshot - @SmallCarsClub.com
Cincinnati radio-and-refrigerator magnate Powel Crosley, Jr., entered the car business in 1939 with dreams of an American Volkswagen: a small, cheap economy model that would make every family a two-car family
Prewar Crosleys were cute but crude little boxes with two-cylinder engines, mechanical brakes, very basic equipment, and prices as low as $299. Powel even sold them in his appliance stores…

AS PROMISED, THE SISTER FROCK TO THE DRESS SHOWN YESTERDAY. POST-WAR 1940'S TAILORED FOR A SOCIALITE.
No ifs, ands or buts about going to a fancy event this time. Also from Montevideo, Uruguay, it belonged to a woman who was or was posing as a member of “society”. This frock has a huge amount of glitzy embellishment both front and back, but what better way to hide in plain sight? Very pretty, and it’s all hand-done. There is a label from “Mae’s” but I still suspect a small tailoring business,…
