Continental Airlines was founded as Varney Speed Lines by Walter Varney in 1934; Varney had been awarded a government contract to haul airmail and passengers in the American Southwest. (He would also be one of the founders of United Airlines, which would acquire Continental 80 years later.) Varney Speed Lines used a single Lockheed 5 Vega. After government airmail contracts were cancelled only a few months later, Varney needed financial help or his new startup would go under. Robert Six stepped in with the required amount, on the condition he could become general manager. Varney agreed, and Six took over in 1936. The next year, he renamed the airline Continental Airlines, reflecting his desire to turn his new company into a coast-to-coast major carrier.
Six ran Continental carefully, using the profits made in aircraft conversion during World War II to build a fleet of aircraft postwar, and acquired Pioneer Airlines in 1951, making Continental the largest airline in the US West. Six also strongly petitioned the government for longer routes, positioning Continental to compete with the three leading domestic carriers at the time—American, Trans-World Airlines, and United. Believing—correctly--that more flights rather than higher costs was a smart business plan, Six introduced Boeing 707 jet service in 1959, only the second domestic carrier to do so. Despite only having a handful of 707s, Continental utilized them so well that it seemed like the airline had more. Continental also introduced its iconic “Golden Tail” livery, with a black or red stylized globe on a gold tail to symbolize the airline’s desire to expand yet further.
Six was still disappointed in Continental, since over half of its revenue actually came from military contracts. Continental was one of three launch customers for the 747 in 1970; two years later, it added McDonnell Douglas DC-10s. Both proved very popular with customers for plenty of seating, low fares, and lounges in first-class. Continental acquired a reputation for superb service and kept expanding, finally attaining Six’s 40-year old dream of transcontinental service in 1978, the same year Continental also added routes to Asia and began a subsidiary, Air Micronesia (later Continental Micronesia) that flew interisland operations in the South Pacific and Japan.
This did not come without a price. Continental, an airline that prided itself on low-cost operations, was now being undercut by even lower-cost regional airlines such as Frontier and Western, and the airline began to lose money. Six retired in 1981 to be replaced by Frank Lorenzo, who also was the head of Texas International Airlines. The latter was promptly folded into Continental. Lorenzo, who felt that Continental would never be competitive with unionized employees. This labor war, added to other problems, sent Continental into bankruptcy in 1983.
This was a blessing in disguise for Lorenzo, as it allowed him to cut labor costs and employees he deemed nonessential; if it increased employee hatred for their CEO, it also allowed Continental to once more turn a profit and emerge from bankruptcy in 1986. Once that was complete, Lorenzo began expanding his airline once more: he had lost a bidding war with People Express for Frontier Airlines in 1985, but People Express was crippled by the bidding war, allowing Continental to acquire both it and Frontier in 1986. New York Air followed in 1987, by which time Continental became the third-largest US airline and sixth-largest in the world.
Lorenzo left in 1991, by which time Continental was in trouble again: it had expanded too quickly and absorbed too much debt, and high fuel prices in the wake of the First Gulf War in 1991 were causing losses. Once more, it declared bankruptcy, in 1993. Gordon Bethune took over the company and completely revitalized it, adopting a new livery and making several changes designed to improve service and employee morale. It worked, and Continental returned to prominence in the 1990s. In 2001, it introduced at the time the longest airline route in the world (Newark-Hong Kong, over the North Pole) and in 2003 became the fourth-largest US carrier.
Rising fuel prices and the Delta-Northwest merger put Continental at a disadvantage by 2008. Despite having 262 destinations, it was operating at a loss and was risking a third bankruptcy. In 2010, Continental announced it was merging with United Airlines effective 2011, with both airlines adopting a hybrid livery—United’s titles were retained, but Continental’s globe stayed on the tail as well. The new airline was the second largest in the world. The Continental brand ceased to exist, however, in 2012, ending over 75 years of service.
This ERJ-145 regional jet was one of the last types acquired by Continental before the United merger; it flew with ExpressJet, Continental's regional airline. As ExpressJet remains in operation, now serving as United Express, this aircraft likely remains in service.

There was old contracts between local peoples... You can see one of them but you can not read it easily, it wrote without any dots in Persian language.
Pictured is a copy of the 1953 labor agreement between C&P Telephone of the District of Columbia and the Communications Workers of America (CWA).
At this point in time CWA had re-organized and formed District 2 that covered a large geographical area around Washington, D.C., including all the C&P named AT&T subsidiaries, and the D.C. installer’s former union president, Glen Watts, was now District 2 director.
Contracts with C&P in the Washington, D.C. area had been conducted separately by the traffic (operator) local union and the installers local union for about 10 years before joint negotiations were conducted again--resulting in this agreement with C&P Telephone.
The agreement covered C&P workers in the District of Columbia and the inner suburbs of Maryland and Virginia.
Classifications covered included clerks, service representatives, messengers, commercial representatives, elevator operator, mechanics, laborers, cable splicers, warehouse worker, line worker, installer repair, cafeteria worker, cook, telephone operator, rest room attendant, frame workers and storekeeper.
By this time Mary Gannon, the fiery telephone operators union president in D.C., was retired. Watts would go on to become president of the national union.

1923 dated postcard view of Main Street in Thorntown, Indiana. The title, “Booster Committee for Redpath Chautauqua” refers to the local organizers who had contracted with the Redpath Lyceum Bureau founded by James C. Redpath earlier in the 19th century. The Redpath company began setting up local circuits for the Chautauquas after the turn of the century in order to improve the efficiency of the operation. With a handful of Chautauquas running simultaneously in a group of towns, the lecturers, musicians and other entertainers could be moved more easily from one to another location within the circuit. It was a way to streamline the business and they were known as “Circuit Chautauquas.” The various circuits were arranged each summer season in a business-like manner to minimize wasted travel time for the equipment and the entertainers. Photographs and postcards show they traveled via a special train.
The committee in each town bore the financial risk associated with the Chautauqua. The committees signed contracts with Redpath and became responsible for ticket sales in each town, hoping to sell at least enough tickets to cover the cost of the contracts. The Thorntown Booster Committee had that responsibility in Thorntown as did similar committees in nearby towns on this particular circuit.
The pennants on the cars advertised the Chautauqua, but it is unclear if this was a promotional event or perhaps a celebration of the opening of the Redpath Chautauqua.
This scene was looking east on Main Street from a vantage point east of Market Street. The 1915 Sanborn™ fire insurance map set for Thorntown shows a grocery and notions business at the location where the GROCERY sign is located near the left edge of this scene (north side of the street). The name above that sign is unclear. The banner hanging from that building above the awning advertised DRY GOODS, GROCERIES, NOTIONS & TINWARE. The name at the bottom of that banner appears to be J. E. LARUE.
The second building east of the grocery had HARDWARE painted on the building above the awning. The other signage on that building isn’t readable. The map set shows a hardware and stoves business in that building, the second building west of the alley. Next door, at the alley, the sign advertised HOME NATIONAL BANK. The 1915 map set confirms that a bank was on that corner at the alley and the building was still there as of 2009.
Beyond the alley, none of the business signs are clear enough to read. However, the last two buildings in that block were still standing as of 2009. The cross street at the far end of the block is Pearl Street. The white building with the exterior staircase on the northeast corner of that intersection in this scene appears to be the same building standing at that location today.
On the southeast corner at Pearl Street, the sign near the top of the building advertised a grocery. The 1915 map set shows a grocery at that location. The map set also shows three single-story wood frame buildings west of that intersection. The third of those was a meat market and the MEAT MARKET sign in this scene was on that third building. Signs on the next two buildings advertised HARNESS and HARD____ businesses. The map set shows harness and hardware businesses in the two buildings. The name at the top of the building with the harness business is unclear, but could be MILLIKAN. A 1914 Boone County history¹ mentions Allen Millikan and his son William Millikan as owners of a saddle and harness shop in Thorntown. The history notes, “They have no competition.”
Below the large RESTAURANT sign was a sign advertising LIVERY AND FEED. The map set shows a livery business next to the hardware store. The BAKERY sign was associated with the restaurant. The map set shows a restaurant and bakery next to the livery business. The last sign in this scene advertised another MEAT MARKET that is shown in the map set on the east side of the alley.

So next week I start at a large cell phone company doing some stuff. I just thought you might want to know :-)
The sun is back in London town! How long we have waited it's hard to say but at least the good weather is here for the moment. And as it's good to 'make hay when the sun shines' we thought we'd hit the streets for a little pasting action as you can never be sure if the weather will last or even if it will be back...
We have featured the Graffiti Contract before but thought it too good a chance not to have a few more out on the streets. Sign yourself up!
Cheers

The Golden Triangle Regional Library Consortium (GTRLC) welcomed 17 new libraries this week as the Mid-Mississippi Regional Library System and the Columbus-Lowndes Public Library System joined ranks with 23 other libraries in the consortium.
During a contract signing on March 7, Dr. Mark Keenum, Mississippi State University President, welcomed the new libraries and thanked the directors and board members for their confidence in the MSU Libraries and for their vision and commitment to providing the best possible service and resources to their patrons.
The Mid-Mississippi Regional Library System serves Mississippi’s Attala, Holmes, Leake, Montgomery and Winston counties, while the Columbus-Lowndes Public Library System manages collections for the communities of Columbus, Artesia, Crawford, and Caledonia, Mississippi.
“This is a very exciting time for our patrons and for what our library system can offer to the citizens of Attala County,” said Richard Greene, Executive Director of the Mid-Mississippi RLS. “This library resource sharing consortium will bring the collections of 38 libraries to the finger tips of our Attala County customers.”
“Being a member of the GTRLC means that we can bring a world of information to the citizens of Lowndes County,” said Alice Shands, Director of the Columbus-Lowndes Public Library System. “No longer are Lowndes County citizens limited to only the informational resources we can afford to purchase. Membership in the GTRLC provides an exponential increase in the amount of information our patrons may now access.”
The GTRLC was established in 1993 as a means of increasing the sharing of resources (access to one database which would contain all of the holdings within the Golden Triangle area) and automation costs as well as the sharing of technical expertise. The mission of the Consortium is to provide a central database that customers can utilize to provide easy access to resources available in the Golden Triangle Region. Building upon the success of the venture between charter members Mississippi State University and Mississippi University for Women, the Consortium continues to impact libraries and provide exceptional service to its members.
“We are very pleased to have the Columbus-Lowndes Library System and the Mid-Mississippi Regional Library System join the GTRLC,” said MSU Libraries Administrator of Systems, Stephen Cunetto. “With these additions, the Consortium, the only one of its kind in the State, now includes 40 libraries, including academics, publics, and school libraries.”
Since its establishment, Starkville High School, Tombigbee Regional Library System, Oktibbeha – Starkville Public Library, and the East Mississippi Community College Libraries have joined the consortium. Training and ongoing development and support for the Consortium is handled by the Mississippi State University Libraries.
