Nice Warm Scarf, or a rag? Yep, it's still a nice warm, cozy scarf, keeping me warm in this weather that just won't go away. I've had this scarf for either 43 or 44 years. I bought it at Kaufman-Straus Department Store on 4th Street on my way to work at the Royal Globe Insurance Company. I used to transfer from the Market street bus to the Broadway bus, and somtimes walked from Market to Broadway for the connection. And that was before it was TARC, Transit Authority of River City - it was just plain - the bus. So I was making my little journey out 4th street in temps like we're having today, and it was snowing like you wouldn't believe. The buses were running behind because the streets were in bad shape because of the weather; consequently, it was late enough that Kaufman's was open and I dashed in there for this scarf - I was FREEZING. I have no idea what I paid for it, but it must have been a pretty good buy, because I'm still wearing it today.

Love it - and such a great use of resources! Looks lovely, has a nice little history to it, I wonder what the American Pickers would say about this?
