You've got it, Khat, the box is usually better than the toy.

The stuff in that box I just mentioned included a 1974 Seattle Times clipping about a rummage sale find, a book by Harriet Hubbard Ayer, called Complete and Authentic Treatise on the Laws of Health and Beauty, published in 1902. I don't know why I kept the clipping, but it is pretty interesting. I did a search and found a modest page with some information about Ayer, sponsored by a descendant of hers: http://www.harriethubbardayer.org/. She led a rather remarkable short life.

Now that I've told you about this clipping I will toss it in the recycle bin.
