Women's Nine West Banded-Edge Cardigan
Piece together a look you'll love with this women's cardigan from Nine West.
One of my favorite "reads" are almanacs. From the previously named Information Please almanac to the Old Farmer's Almanac , these handy paperback books contain a wealth of information on virtually any subject, particularly the more generalized tomes such as Information Please.
In November 2005, I visited my locally owned drugstore and found that they had free copies of Grier's Almanac available for customers. Similar in design to the Old Farmer's Almanac, I took a copy home with me.
Although not peppered with stories such as can be found in the Old Farmer's Almanac, Grier's contains the usual "zodiac" information which farmers in time's past would rely on to help them determine when to plant. In addition, you can find information on daily weather predictions, a fishing calendar, an exhaustive list of holidays for the year, and interesting chronological information on events that happened on particular dates through history. In the back of the almanac is a section devoted to all kinds of classified ads.
As with most almanacs in this particular genre, Grier's has share of ads. Some are helpful and include ads for insurance and gardening, while others are bizarre and include ads for oils and candles to help make your opposition lawyer stupid. Okay, if it works than that is great!
Perhaps the most interesting aspect of Grier's is that 2006 represents their 200th anniversary edition. For two straight centuries the almanac has been published including throughout the Civil War period, a remarkable feat indeed.
Grier's is written for the southern states only from Virginia to Texas. As mentioned, copies are free and can be found in many drugstores, feed and seed establishments, and retail outlets through the south. Annual circulation reportedly exceeded three million copies.
Congratulations to Grier's Almanac Publishing Company of Atlanta for 200 consecutive years of service!
