She was cleaning out the cupboard, I snapped this, and we both felt it looked like vintage advertising for the stuffing. Now it's almost impossible for me to not see this as aimed as me as a consumer. Is advertising reversible?
Intel Research Berkeley: Steerable Antenna for "TIER" - Technology & Infrastructure for Emerging Regions, a UC Berkeley Research Group
Situated directly in front of the old Berkeley County Hospital in Moncks Corner, in a section dedicated to the memorial of Berkeley County veterans, an old grave stone stands. The sign accompanying it reads:
"When the South Carolina Public Service Authority was clearing the lands for the Santee Cooper Lakes, and removing buildings and other things man had erected during his two and a half centuries in Upper Berkeley, there were numerous small items of a semi-public nature that had to be disposed of.
Among these was the tombstone at the grave of a solider who appears to have died at the Forty-Five Mile House and been buried on the West Side of and near the Congaree River Road at a spot commonly called “Soljer Grave” by most residents of the cross section.
The marker bore the following inscription: “Thomas Picket, Fairfield District, who died the 14th day of March, 1814, age 19 years, 1 month, and 22 days on his return from Charleston where he had volunteered his services to meet his country foes.”
In May of 1940 the Authority and Post No. 126, The American Legion, covered the grave with a slab of concrete with the foot stone inserted in the concrete. The head with the above inscription was taken to Moncks Corner and has been in the care of Post No. 126, The American Legion."
