Christmas Cards appeared in the United States of America in the late 1840s, but were very expensive and most people couldn't afford them. It 1875, Louis Prang, a printer who was originally from Germany, but who had also worked on early cards in the UK, started mass producing cards so more people could afford to buy them.

Always Check Your Lug Nuts!

10/6/2017

Hi Paul and Caroline,
In your September-October magazine there was an article about tires with a little side note reminding everyone to "tighten your lug nuts!"  In June we were on our way to Arroyo Grande in our 1957 Arrowhead.  About a mile from our destination, we heard what could only be described as a noise that screams "something is dreadfully wrong!"  Upon inspection, this is how we found our rim.  We live in Brea, so who knows how long we'd been towing our trailer with at lease one lose lug nut, which turned into two missing lugs with the other three ready to go.  We were lucky.  I get chills even thinking about the desaster that could have been.
The moral of this story is; Don't let this happen to you,  ALWAYS CHECK YOUR LUG NUTS!!
Whew!
Jeff and Nanci Hill
