This is from 1905, but don't know who is playing.

This is my favorite thread. Every week or so I catch up on it. These pictures, they make me wonder what the hell has happened to us.

A lady peruses the first issue of Sports Illustrated (1954)



Supposedly Time-Life spent $30M ('50s $) before SI showed a profit

By contrast Hefner started Playboy on $5K of borrowed $, & showed a profit from the 1st issue

What is the meaning of this word, "perpare"???

There are plenty of old photos to share without resorting to photoshop.
