1922 Calendar and Furniture

So 1921's calendar matched up perfectly with 2011's, and 1922's matched...until February 29. LEAP DAY! ARGH!

Interesting, though--Disneyland and Walt Disney World had a promotion, "One More Disney Day" (where Disneyland and The Magic Kingdom were open from 6 AM on February 29 through 6 AM March 1).

So when I did a search of the papers from February 28-March 1, 1922, what did I find?

ONE MORE DAY!


--The Democratic banner, Mt. Vernon, Ohio, February 28, 1922

"THE BOTTOM HAS BEEN REACHED! THE PENDULUM IS SWINGING UPWARD!"

Note they appear to call daybeds (?) "bed davenports." And a $100 bed davenport costs $75.

Here's a cool picture of Hoover-Rowlands.
