My grandparents had a coal furnace. It really put out the heat during the cold Ohio winters! Coal burns hotter than Hades.

The "wet look" was popular for men from the 1930s thru the 1950s. I can't remember what I used. Didn't wash my hair often, so probably didn't need too much pomade. "Bryl-creem, a little dab'll do ya"...:)

well my father was born in the 1920's.. I saw photos of him when he was 19 and he didn't have that muck in his hair then, so he must have started wearing it in the 1950's because in their wedding photos in the mid 50's.. he looked like he had it in his hair then... ... ... he wore a cap at work as a bus driver.. in the 60's.. and we kids could scrape the grease the brycreem created as a layer inside his peaked cap...

I was shocked to learn that after growing up thinking he had jet black shiny hair.. that in fact his hair was brown.. and it was the grease that made it look black...

Ya'll might want to kill me, but I am wondering if you remember reading any of these books. I pared my list way down, although it won't seem that way to some of you, I'm sure. I get very enthused about books because I love them so much. So please forgive me for going overboard (I didn't realize that until a few minutes ago); it was born of passion.
