Jazzy Time at National Hardware Show
Reporter Saul Pettt recounts a lively visit to the National Hardware Show in New York. He chats with Mynah birds selling appliances, notes booth attractions from doweling jigs to repairers’ reamers, and observes flirtatious booth entertaining and promotional garb. He mentions left handed cutting shears and a weigh-in on aluminum screening, plus a quip about Westinghouse and a “Weather-All” safety suit. Whalebone historically costly at ten thousand dollars per ton.
