American artist Charles Dana Gibson (1867-1944) created elegant pen and ink illustrations that were evocative of American life. He was best known for his creation of the Gibson Girl, an iconic representation of the beautiful and independent Euro-American woman at the turn of the 20th century. His wife, Irene Langhorne, and her four sisters inspired his images. He published his illustrations in “Life” magazine and other major national publications for more than 30 years, becoming editor of “Life” in 1918 and later owner of the magazine. [Source: Wikipedia]

Pacific Mills was incorporated in 1853 with capital of $1 million. The original mills and print works were built by the Essex Company, remodeled in 1882, and enlarged and added to over the many years of its operation. In the latter part of the 19th century it was considered one of the foremost corporations in the world. Abbot Lawrence, the city’s namesake, was the first president. The company started as a producer of women’s dress goods in wool and cotton, and included a print house and dye works. By the 1890s the mills were producing calicos, lawns, shirtings, and a large variety of other products. By 1895 there were over 200,000 spindles turning.
After steady success, the company found that it could not weave enough cloth to keep its printing machines and bleaching kiers, or tubs, busy. To get more cloth, Pacific expanded into the South in 1915 by buying four of the sixteen mills of the financially distressed and South Carolina–based Parker Mills.
The new mills, collectively called Columbia Pacific Mills, consisted of Olympia, Granby, Richland, and Capital City Mills in Columbia. Mill villages containing 650 houses came with the purchase. In 1923 Pacific bought 750 acres of land eleven miles from Spartanburg to open Lyman Pacific Mills and another company town. The Columbia operations produced gray cloth that was shipped to Lyman or Lawrence for printing, dyeing, bleaching, and finishing.
The Olympia mill had the distinction of having the largest spinning room in the world in the 1920s, with 100,320 spindles. Such massive operations made Pacific into the world’s largest manufacturer of percale, a medium-weight, plain-woven printed cotton commonly used in bedsheets.
During World War II, Pacific’s South Carolina mills turned out more than 350 million yards of fabric for the war effort. This cotton cloth made millions of uniforms, shirts, shorts, sheets, mattress covers, raincoats, and camouflage items. In 1954 Burlington Industries bought the entire Pacific Mills chain but retained the label because Columbia had established a reputation for high-quality bedsheets, pillow cases, and towels. M. Lowenstein & Sons bought the mills in 1955, however, and removed the Pacific name. The new owners closed the Capital City and Richland mills in 1975 and 1981, respectively. Springs Industries acquired Lowenstein in 1985 and continued to operate the Olympia and Granby mills until 1996, when the aging plants were closed.

Our very first Cast Members photo, taken before the park opened to the public, was the Life Magazxine cover photo for the week of Oct 15, 1971. The scan of the original photo is elsewhere here on the page. Wish I had known that this made the Life cover, I just happened to find this image while surfing the Life archives.
Over a thousand Chicagoans, from all walks of life and all parts of the city, came together at Millennium Park to perform "Crowd Out" by Davind Lang.
Although a bit chaotic in the beginning, once the leaders of each of the small groups that formed the whole got things in sync, it became a beautiful performance and a moving experience.
I came upon this event purely by accident and it took me a while to figure out what was going on.
Once surrounded by all these people, I was pretty much stuck, so you see some of the same faces over and over again.

As I worked on my Gallery piece entitled: "Hair of Wool", now let me enlighten those who are easily offended by (my personal opinion) of what Christ actually looked like given his geographical location as well as the 40 Days he spent in the wilderness. You cannot survive any wilderness without a comb, toothbrush, razor, soap, and washcloth without coming out of there a little funky and with your hair Dreaded. It just ain't gonna happen like that. So, whether or not YOU choose to believe (my own) rendition of the Lord and Savior the FACT remains that he did NOT come out of the wilderness after 40 Days with straight, flawless hair and pearly whites.
This piece now hangs at CentralGallery; which is far better than it (hanging) from a cross... (peace)... *T.M.NOEL/ ANGRYHOUZE

These scans come from my rather large magazine collection. Instead of filling my house with old moldy magazines, I scanned them (in most cases, photographed them) and filled a storage area with moldy magazines. Now they reside on an external harddrive. I thought others might appreciate these tidbits of forgotten history.
Please feel free to leave any comments or thoughts or impressions... Thanks in advance!

Everything but the photo is from the actual June 12, 1944 Life Magazine. I'm sure you agree the photo makes you think the Norden Bombsight is about to be trained on the bridge in the photo. Gets my pulse racing... so much I've also created some more mag covers.

The Kaiser-Frazer Corporation produced the Henry J Corsair from 1950 to 1954. Initially, it achieved notable sales figures, thanks to its affordability and the post-war demand for new cars. To keep costs low, early models did not have rear trunk lids, and the car was only available as a two-door sedan with fixed rear windows. Power came from a 134.2 cu in (2.2 L) four-cylinder engine or a 161 cu in (2.6 L) six-cylinder engine, like those used in Jeeps. The base model retailed for $1,300, which is equivalent to $16,463 in 2023 dollars.
However, the Corsair’s success was short-lived. It faced stiff competition from other manufacturers who offered more features and better designs at competitive prices. Customer preferences also shifted over time and the minimalist approach of the Corsair became less appealing. By the mid-1950s, sales continued to decline, and despite price reductions and model improvements, the Henry J Corsair couldn’t sustain its initial success. Tough business!

The largest commercially available cathode ray tube (CRT) television screens reached sizes of 45 inches. However, Mitsubishi experimented with even larger CRT models, producing a few 61-inch TVs, but these were not widely sold due to technological instability and safety concerns. CRT technology had limitations in size due to the bulkiness and weight of the picture tubes required.
CRT televisions were significantly heavier than modern LCD screens for the same screen size. For example, a 32-inch CRT TV could weigh around 150-200 pounds, while a 32-inch LCD screen typically weighs 20-30 pounds. This means the weight-to-size ratio for CRTs was much higher, making them bulkier and harder to handle. The difference arises from the technology: CRTs required large, heavy glass tubes and electron guns, while LCDs use lightweight panels and backlighting systems.
The leap in resolution is also remarkable. Commercial CRT monitors achieved resolutions as high as 2560x1920. In contrast, modern LCD monitors have reached resolutions of 7680x4320 (8K). These displays offer incredible clarity and are widely used for professional tasks like video editing and graphic design. It’s a testament to how far display technology has advanced.
