Fairy tale deal from early bridge days 1927
South with four hearts doubled makes ten tricks after an imaginative play. South opens with one spade, West preempts to two hearts, North bids three diamonds, and South advances to four hearts. West doubles, leading diamonds, but South executes a sequence to win seven of the first eight tricks and clinch four hearts doubled.

Dear Heloise explains broadloom as a width term not a manufacturer. Early looms produced 27 or 36 inch wide strips sewn into wider pieces, leading to today's six feet or more wide carpets.
