Paying tribute to a

past of practical living

Honoring the men and women of the past who cherished

what they had, wore their clothing down to mere threads,

yet kept their belongings around as a means of necessity.

By way of their “waste-not” mentality and steadfast belief

of reuse, we are left with the remains of a bygone era

when quality was championed and resourcefulness was

the cornerstone of American living.
