The Evolution of Trade and Cigarette Cards, 1891-1914: Enhancing the Social Status of Australian Rules Footballers
Abstract The social status associated with high profile Australian Rules footballers has a long history dating back to the nineteenth century. This status was particularly enhanced when entrepreneurial commercial establishments and tobacco companies distributed trade and cigarette cards with their products. The purpose of this activity was to encourage consumers to purchase a particular cigarette brand or to re-visit a store in order to complete a full set of cards.

Opinion | How I Liberated My College Classroom
Durham, N.C. The conservative critique of American higher education is well known to Journal readers: The universities are run by intolerant progressives. The left counters with an insult: The lack of intellectually respectable conservative arguments is responsible for campus political uniformity. Perhaps a better starting point in this debate is the students, most of whom actually want freer discourse on campus. They want to be challenged by views they don’t hold.
Marxist ideas and theory
Introductions to Marxism Whether it’s the pandemic, economic slump or climate chaos, it’s clear the system isn’t working for the vast majority. Marxism provides a framework for understanding why capitalism fails—and a way of changing society.
FFA plays important role in developing next generation
National Future Farmers of America (FFA) Week is a special time for me–an opportunity to reflect on the vital role agriculture has played in my life and the direct impact it has on the success of Tennessee. One need look no further than the official Great Seal of the State of Tennessee to know that agriculture is entrenched in our state’s legacy and has played an important role in our history.
The Boating Party by Mary Cassatt
Poetry, Art, Impressionism, Self, Philosophy. Peaceful contemplation of family The Boating Party by Mary Cassatt (1893–94), Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons Filled with a sense of peace whenever I behold “Boating Party”. Child safe in mother’s arms trusting skill of rower, gliding over calm sunny waters gentle breezes. Memories of my love our first child river boating late summer morning Hawkesbury river. Memory of ripples on millpond waters.
"Continuous Review Billing Decision Systems" by John S. Rose
Abstract The subject of this paper is the recurring set of retail billing decisions: the activities whereby the firm initiates the collection of receivables from its charge account customers. A model for this decision making activity is proposed in order to enhance the profitability of the firm's billing information system. Recommended Citation Rose, John S. 1980. "Continuous Review Billing Decision Systems." E.C.R.S.B. 80-2. Robins School of Business White Paper Series.
"Selection of the Best Pair from a Random Sequence" by John S. Rose
Document Type White Paper Abstract The model analyzed in this paper extends the classical secretary problem to the situation in which the decision maker wants to select the two best objects. Exactly two selections are permitted, and a selection strategy is defined by a pair of stopping times. Characterization of the optimal strategy is cumbersome, but useful asymptotic representations are obtained for long sequences. Recommended Citation Rose, John S. 1980.
The Hubbard Museum of the American West
It’s about more than just horses. Well known are the names of those whose decisions made Western history—from William Clark and Meriwether Lewis to William Travis and Jim Bowie, from George Custer and Sitting Bull to Virgil Earp and Ike Clanton. The names of those whose decisions honor and preserve that history, however, are rarely known.
Cochise County Archives Are Delightfully Taxing
It was in the spring of 1881 that the Arizona Territory Legislature created Cochise County, because of the rapid rise of Tombstone’s mining-based economy. The first tax collector for the newly formed county was Johnny Behan, its first sheriff, a major player in Tombstone’s early troubles and a key figure in the feud that would make Tombstone and Wyatt Earp legendary long after their glory days had gone.
Little Bighorn Battlefield Also Has Museum Treats
Custer relics are part of the large collection. The June 1876 Battle of the Little Bighorn shocked a nation, and almost immediately the survivors (perhaps only one from Custer’s immediate command, see related story, P. 40) wanted another look at the site, while people from coast to coast were curious enough to want to visit. A national cemetery was established there in 1879, with the site under the jurisdiction of the War Department.
One Collector’s Quest to Hunt Down History
How this Rose Collection all started. While attending last summer’s WOLA (Western Outlaw and Lawman Association) Convention in Sierra Vista, Arizona, I participated in a collectors roundtable and was asked, “Why did you become a collector?” I told the audience of a moment on film that actually changed the course of my adult life. Having seen Raiders of the Lost Ark just after my first year of college, one scene has remained vivid to me ever since.
Western History Stays Alive on Oklahoma City Hilltop
Sometimes great things start with humble beginnings, mixed with big dreams. Such is the case of the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum, located atop historic Persimmon Hill in Oklahoma City.
University of Arizona Holds Special Status
The University of Arizona is a fine modern institution with terrific collections of Western materials, but in the beginning, Tucson wasn’t exactly jumping for joy at the prospect of getting the school. What do we want with a university? What good will it do us? Who in hell ever heard of a university professor buying a drink? In 1885 the Tucson saloon fraternity was asking such questions.
White Mountain Apaches Share Their Rich Heritage
“I have selected a site for a military post on the White Mountain River, which is the finest I ever saw,” said Major John Green. “The climate is delicious, and said by the Indians to be perfectly healthy, free from all malaria.” Construction began in May 1870 on the post, first called Camp Ord, then Camp Mogollon, Camp Thomas and Camp Apache before being designated Fort Apache in 1879.
The Making of Wyatt Earp’s Legend
Wyatt Earp spent his last years trying to set the record straight on the story of his life. His biographer Stuart Lake had something more in mind: He was going to create the Icon of the American West. But the legend might never have been told if its author had run out of the patience it took to deal with Mrs. Earp.
The Past Comes Alive at Deadwood Museum
The Adams Museum tells the story of Wild Bill. The summer of 1876 was fateful for the Black Hills mining camp of Deadwood (in Dakota Territory, now South Dakota). Its most famous visitor, gambler and former lawman Wild Bill Hickok, was shot in the back of the head by John (“Jack”) McCall while playing poker in the Number 10 Saloon. But a year later, in 1877, a lesser-known arrival would further etch young Deadwood’s most turbulent days into the American memory— William Emery Adams.
The Tigers of the Southwest
From early childhood, Apaches we were raised in a warrior culture that produced the greatest guerrilla fighters of all time. Their tactics defied the Spanish, Mexican and American armies for 300 years. It was early November 1885 when settlers in southern Arizona and New Mexico territories learned of an unfolding nightmare. Since that summer, Captains Wirt Davis and Emmet Crawford, under Brigadier General George Crook, had doggedly pursued Apache war parties under Geronimo and Chief Chihuahua.
Drop Second Amendment 'rights' pretense
It seems as though the Republican majority in the Legislature is about to ram through a flurry of new gun laws that they falsely label Second Amendment rights. The Second Amendment, like all of the others included in the Bill of Rights, is not an absolute. Like all others, is defined by interpretation of the federal courts. Therefore when some say that it enables open or concealed carry of guns with virtually no restrictions, they are simply voicing an opinion.
Nontoxic shot doesn't affect hunters
This letter is in response to Larry Brown's Jan. 3 Iowa View piece on the subject of nontoxic shotgun ammunition. Although Brown is a recognized expert on the topic of upland bird hunting and is the author of a book and many magazine articles, he has had very little, if any, experience in the use of nontoxic shot. My purpose is not to argue the issue of a lead shot ban, but rather to dispute a couple of points raised by Brown in his piece.
Is Zionist a rude word?
Words trail meanings beyond their formal definitions. Raymond Williams in his Key Words leads us through the dizzying journeys that words we thought we knew well have taken over their history. For example, who nowadays brings to mind what ‘Protestants’ were protesting about? Or take ‘fascism’. This theory and practice of authoritarian politics is now so entangled with its delivery of the holocaust that outside academia it is used as a swear word plain and simple.
Livingstone, Labour and the fight against racism
The Labour right and supporters of Israel are hypocritically using Ken Livingstone’s comments yesterday, Thursday, to smear the left as antisemitic. The Labour right, knowing their weakness in the wider party, have sniffed an issue where they can tear into Corbyn, Supporters of Israel hope to hold back the growing movement for the Palestinians.
