When I was a kid, TV stations would ask, β€œDo you know where your children are?” at 10 PM, but they asked nothing about us when a severe thunderstorm was expected.

Another thrift store find by my SO. A ledger dated 1905 and from , Ohio that contains a lot of recipes for all kinds of things. Whoever they were they were making a lot of everything. Maybe a restaurant or bakery?

Reading through the 1912 diary that I posted an image from yesterday and found that the diarist ends each days entry with the word β€œMoses.” The diarists name was George Homer Zimmerman, not Moses, so I’m hoping someone might have insight as to why he would end each entry this way. Thanks! @histodons

"Although this is not an animated , the origins of animated film can be glimpsed here... Copyrighted in 1900, it was probably filmed three or four years earlier.”

Another great image from the OGS Archives: Ice harvesting in a quarry somewhere in Ohio (likely Huron or Richland County) in the early 1900s.
