Flip Strip


I found this at a garage sale eons ago. It's from the 40s (WW2 era) and is in crumbly condition but I wanted so badly to share it that I actually damaged it a bit folding the transparent bits over to scan it but I figured it was worth it, something like this should be shared.

The inside front cover says:
"This daring young maiden, Elaine,
For a thrill jumped out of a plane.
As through space she did glide,
She lost more than her pride,
With that breeze, not a stitch could remain."

Little Googie on The Prairie



Driving through the extremely rural, desolate, nearly abandoned town of Savoy, Arkansas I saw these ruins sitting in a field with a barn in the background. There was a large gate with a crackled driveway that lead the structure. At first I thought maybe it had been part of a gas station but I saw no place for pumps or a pull-thru so I suppose it's just the left-over carport of what must of at one time been the most modern house in Savoy... or at least it's carport was. Wish it was at my house, I'd have it painted turquise and orange and all spiffed up for outdoor dining. Gull-wings AWAY!
