Newspaper report on Ed Burroughs and the other MMA Cadets 
parading at the Columbian Exposition
Chicago ~ June 9, 1893
“Down the Plaisance rode Commander Rice in full dress uniform with his aides beside him. Behind him thundered the band of the Michigan Military Academy leading the Orchard Lake Cadets, as trim a body of young fellows as has been seen here in many a year.” 

 “Marching in gray blouses and white trousers, the young soldiers kept a perfect step and alignment, eliciting rounds of applause as they marched by. Behind them galloped the Chicago Hussars, escort of honor, and then came the carriages, the committee on ceremonies leading. Behind them was the carriage of state, drawn by four horses, in which rode the Infanta, the prince and Mayor Harrison.”

TARZAN of the APES 
by 
Edgar Rice Burroughs
Chicago Daily Tribute ~ June 17, 1914

The sort of book that appears just about once in a generation.

Tarzan is the son of a British nobleman, adopted while a baby by a tribe of fierce anthropoid apes; marvelously strong, agile and endowed with the intelligence of his human ancestors. The combination makes him a lord of the jungle -- and then the girl appears -- and educated, beautiful being from the world of civilization -- the first human he had ever seen.

She is a brilliant and considerate hostess
Says Mrs. Edgar Rice Burroughs: 
"I find that so many of my guests now choose Wine."
Chicago Daily Tribune ~ December 6, 1939 ~ pg. 20

Wife of the famous creator "Tarzan," gracious Mrs. Edgar Rice Burroughs loves to entertain at her home in Beverly Hills, California. "Nowadays most of our guests prefer not to overdo when they relax," Mrs. Burroughs reports. "So I serve a choice of beverages, and I find more of the people who come to our house select wine."

Actually, this idea of giving every guest an opportunity to say "make mine wine" is sweeping the couintry today. Perhaps, as many are now saying, that's because wine is a moderate beverage. 
Women notice it at afternoon teas and bridge parties. They find so many wives now prefer just a glass of exquisitely flavored Tokay or one of the golden Sauternes.

Hostesses report that before dinner more and more people appreciate a cocttail-size glass of fine Sherry -- or a larger glass of deep-ruby, full flavored Burgundy served with the main course.
Or in the evening, simple bowls of fruit and nuts, or a tray of cheeses and wafers, set out with small glasses of mellow Port or fragrant Muscatel.

Next time you have guests, try it. As Mrs. Burroughs says, you will be amazed how many people now prefer wine -- how many have discovered that good wine and genial evenings go together.
