OK, while Herbert Hoover was elected PRESIDENT in 1928, Calvin Coolidge actually WAS the PRESIDENT for all of 1928.

CALVIN COOLIDGE - aka President

Here's an interesting ad that is likely regional and dated 1926.

"Largest selection in town of nationally advertised Bulova watches".

That is cool. Another example of a local jeweler taking some liberty with the model name.

Hmmmmm, I wonder if when you took a "Coolidge model" in to be serviced because it didn't tick, the jeweler referred to it as a "Silent Cal".

Food for thought........;o)

SO, the story goes that one evening at dinner a young woman sitting next to him said that she had a bet with a friend that she could get more than three words of conversation from him. Without looking at her it is reported that he said "you lose".
