Dude we had an escalator?
That pamphlet is really fascinating. And I, for one, am all for the reinstallation of the escalator.
My how the check-out limits have changed (among everything else, of course)...but from 3 books per student in 1923 to 350 books per student today?! Goodness gracious, this is interesting stuff!
I think it's funny that the signs on the newspaper room doors in periodicals still say "smoking" on them.
