Title: Connections IV - Solved! Buick's Porcelain Tub Tech ..... and his Cars!
Post by: Otto Puzzell on March 04, 2007, 08:04:50 AM

He made a tiny fortune after he invented a process for heat-binding porcelain to wrought iron to make white

you're on a roll

well, I have often been accused of being half baked and/or a big ham.  No matter how you slice it, I am a bit crusty and always in one kind of pickle or another. Lettuce see what the future holds for my store of knowledge.   ::)

To be fair, Hugo deserves all the credit. That boy is one hot chili pepper!    ;D

I will leave things as they are for now, while I restore my powers. But be assured that my talents will turnip in another thread soon.  VERY soon!    ;)
