McLoughlin Bros., Inc. was a New York publishing firm active between 1828[1] and 1920. The company was a pioneer in color printing technologies in children’s books.[2] The company specialized in retellings or bowdlerizations of classic stories for children. The artistic and commercial roots of the McLoughlin firm were first developed by John McLoughlin, Jr. (1827-1905) who made his younger brother Edmund McLoughlin (1833 or 4-1889) a partner in 1855. By 1886, the firm published a wide range of items including cheap chapbooks, large folio picture books, linen books, puzzles, games and paper dolls. Many of the earliest and most valuable board games in America were produced by McLoughlin Brothers of New York. In 1920 the corporation was sold to Milton Bradley & Company. McLoughlin ceased game production at this time, but continued publishing their picture books.

Father Tuck’s Nursery Rhymes, untearable Linen, ABC’s, published by Raphael Tuck & Sons Co, early 1900’s, original, little wear from age.

Easy and delicious salad to make…

You can use any combination of lettuce and spinach; however I especially like butter lettuce for its delicate tenderness

Mix lettuce and spinach leaves together in a large bowl; top with Blue Cheese crumbles, toasted pine nuts, bacon bits and raspberries, cover and keep refrigerated till ready to serve and pour Gourmet Farm Girl Vinaigrette Salad Dressing over and ENJOY!

The last Sunday of March 2010  

Faith makes it wholly possible to quietly endure the violent world around us, for in GOD we are secure.

It won’t be long now…the corn stubble from last year will soon be turned under

Spring 2010

This is the first tractor I ever drove. It is still being used on the farm today. It is quite small compared to modern farm equipment, but this little guy still has his role pulling hay wagons.

During WW II tractors were not manufactured in America. The order for this tractor was placed in 1945. My dad recalls as a young boy waiting patiently on this new arrival for almost 2 years.
