You Better Get it While You Can by Ken Redmond

Janis Joplin was right. Yesterday morning it was $2.939 per gallon at most neighborhood dealers. The place across the road has just upped theirs to $3.159. Lord knows what the next tank will cost.

The Postcard

A postcard that was photographed and published by A. R. Edwards & Son of Selkirk. Note the lady holding the handle of a pram on the far left - she is looking at the photographer.

The card was posted in Edinburgh using a 1d. stamp on Friday the 23rd. December 1927. It was sent to:

Ivan G. T. Clarkson,

43, Queen Anne Street,

London W1.

However the address was crossed out and replaced with:

Milestone Hotel,

High Street,

Kensington.

The message on the divided back of the card was as follows:

"29 Bruntsfield Gardens,

Edinburgh.

All good wishes for a

happy Xmas, and a

happy & prosperous

1928.

I hope you are quite

fit now.

Please thank your

sister for her last

sweet letter, and say

I shall be writing at

length in a day or two,

I have been so very

busy.

Love to Mrs. Clarkson

and yourself,

Yours sincerely,

H."

The Ross Fountain

The Ross Fountain is a cast-iron structure located in West Princes Street Gardens, Edinburgh. It was installed in 1872 and restored in 2018.

-- History of the Ross Fountain

The Ross Fountain on the right of the photograph was produced at the iron foundry of Antoine Durenne in Sommevoire, France. It was an exhibit at the Great Exhibition of 1862.

It was purchased by gunmaker Daniel Ross in 1862 for £2,000 and subsequently gifted to the city of Edinburgh. It was transported to Leith in 1869 in 122 pieces. It was installed in its current position in 1872. It had some extensive restoration work completed in 2001.

-- Restoration of the Ross Fountain

The fountain was turned off again from July 2017 for further restoration work undertaken by Lost Art Limited of Wigan on behalf of The Ross Development Trust. The restoration cost was £1.9m.

On the 8th. July 2018, it was re-inaugurated by Lord Provost Frank Ross and others, including the Head of Mission at the French Consulate in Edinburgh Emmanuel Cocher.

The fountain is now painted in turquoise, brown and gold. According to the organisers, the paintwork should last for at least 20 years. The fountain has a new pump and will be switched on permanently.

Two Golf Legends

So what else happened on the day that the card was posted?

Well, on the 23rd. December 1927, the annual caddy championship at the Glen Garden Country Club in Fort Worth, Texas, pitted two future golf legends against each other.

Both were 15 years old. Byron Nelson defeated Ben Hogan by one stroke.

An Airplane Disaster

Also on that day, Frances Wilson and three men set off in her airplane, the Dawn, in a quest for her to become the first woman to fly across the Atlantic Ocean.

However the airplane disappeared over Newfoundland, and was never found.

The Santa Claus Bank Robbery

Also on the 23rd. December 1927, In what became known as the Santa Claus Bank Robbery, three ex-convicts and another man robbed the First National Bank of Cisco, Texas, of $12,400, killing the town's police chief and a deputy.
