Howdy. Do any of you fellas use collar pins or tab collars?

Cop hats I have quite a couple family members who serve on the Milwaukee police department and wearing the duty cap is a strictly enforced rule. They are required to wear their hat whenever they are not in the car and they will be written up if their supervisor see's them not wearing their hat...

Do you ever use that typewriter?

Nice photos! I think I'm going to use them as my wallpaper for my computer. Nice job on the comics too. Can't wait to see the final result!

nice desk! That's a nice looing desk. I have similar looking chair in my office too!

Biltmore and Beaver Brand Fedoras Does anybody know the "X system" for modern Biltmores and Beaver Brand Fedoras?

I prefer the old style flushers myself!
