When I first saw the item in today’s picture, I had no idea what it was. I came from a dirt farm in Alabama where we did by hand what this implement was designed to do.

Can you tell me what it is and how it was used? If you know the answer then give me a call at 1-800-507-9426. Give me your answer, name and telephone number. If you are a new caller, spell your name.

Last week, I mentioned that Drexel Love made me guess where the photo that appeared in your paper was made. I guessed Naples and that was the right answer as far as it went.

Joyce Jenkins said that the train had just left Naples and was headed south.

Pat Ramsey, Stan Sweet, Ed Bohlman and Spring Fort also had the correct answer.
