Grilled Corn On The Cob, Anyone?

Today we’re going way back to 1900 for these vintage Seattle area ads. The first is for the Puget Sound Machinery Depot (see here for a tour of their 1922 facility). After that, find an ad for the Z.C. Miles & Piper Company selling Ohio Steel Ranges. Note that they used corn as a fuel source. Our brilliant plan for getting off of oil isn’t so new.
