And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
I always make comments about the fishing holes of dreams, but one of the coolest things that I caught at my local trout stream was an Orange Crush bottle from the early 1920s. That was only second to a Hutchinson type soda bottle from the late 1890s.....................
I can remember begging my mom foe a nickel to get a soda out of a machine almost exactly like that. I remember crying when they raised the price to a dime and I thought my mommy would never buy me another one. (A dime was a lot of money to me when I was five)---Ray
I can remember as a child,there was a small general store up in the Adirondacks that had a orange crush machine painted the same only was a horizontal chest. The tall glass soda bottles were in a rack submerged in cold water. I always picked out a bottle of Wink. Funny how certain things can just bring you back.
