This program has been sponsored by The Wisconsin Milk Marketing Board. Today’s music provided by Obey City.
“If you look at the year 1855 as a dividing point…they did have steel before that, but that really made modern production of steel possible.” [13:55]
“The Japanese style handle with a western style blade can be very comfortable.” [35:30]
