Would there be any room left after the Cal Stewart records?

(sorry, it is just too east to take a shot at ole Cal)

This was incredibly advanced back then. Even in my youth, and yes I'm 55 too, these things were rare as heck.
The advertisement sure makes me smile though.

played with a No. 2 reproducer?

Cal Stewart records?

Like "Uncle Josh Buys a Toilet"?

When I was the age of the little girl in that picture, not that long ago either, 1960s, we had a different variety of noiseless toilet. It was the more luxurious "two hole model", in case you wanted company I guess. You couldn't hear a thing but that winter wind blowing across your bottom side...

Good one! But Handy wc's would more likely to be found in Memphis than in NOLA.

You'd want some thorn needles on your Credenza in there. Butt thorn or steel might hurt just as much.
