many other things a huge
old-fashioned phonograph. And
the son expects sometime to send
for the boxes of books which
make the sag in the ceiling just

One family stored in our at

fashioned irons- Maybe some
time they would be pioneering
like us and need them. And
sometime those who left boxes
of fruit Jnrs, automatic chicken
feeders and huge scales will call
for them. We have their word
for It. As we have the word of
those leaving two crates of
phonograph records, and a stack
of curly maple blocks stored in
our attic to "season."
Then there is a box of quartz
specimens; makes a small but de

half ton or so of geographies.
One son, he with the drift
