AN AMERICAN NOTION THAT MAY COME OVER AND HELP US
As a means to “hustle” – the American desideratum – the Auto-push-mobile is the latest scream. It is run by a small gasoline motor, and a very respectable speed can be got out of it, besides any amount of amusement. It is naturally beloved of stage favourites, since its novelty is in itself an advertisement, and Miss Lilian Lorraine and Mr. Dickinson are evidently alive both to its delights and its uses.

About
My wife, bless her tells me that I am rapidly becoming, or perhaps that should read have become a “Grumpy old fart”, so what better forum to spread my doom, gloom and paranoia than WordPress. I also have a love of old pictures, postcards and Edwardian Actresses, in particular Miss Gabrielle Ray which I hope to share at regular intervals. As my collection has grown I have set up another blog which contains only pictures of Miss Ray. Gabrielle Ray Thank you for viewing and comments are welcome.
