From: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cigar_store_Indian

Because of the general illiteracy of the populace, early store owners used descriptive emblems or figures to advertise their shops' wares; for example, barber poles advertise barber shops, show globes advertised apothecaries and the three gold balls represent pawn shops. American Indians and tobacco had always been associated because American Indians introduced tobacco to Europeans,[1] and the depiction of native people on smoke-shop signs was almost inevitable. As early as the 17th century, European tobacconists used figures of American Indians to advertise their shops.

Just part of our country's colorful history that rarely gets taught in the schools. ;)

Thank you.
I recall the tabaconists shops of my childhood and never saw a reference to a Red Indian. Perhaps the part of Somerset I called home didn't need a Red Indian to indicate a place for a smoke.

One of my earliest memories of 'Zumerzet' was a place that did the brilliant smoked fish. :)

'Lo Sugar :)

I grew up in Zumerzet - at the time of the Wurzels! :D The boys really would get dewy-eyed talking about the merits of a Massey Ferguson tractor :rolleyes:.

I smoked mackerel I'd caught once off the East Coast of Scotland. We went out in the afternoon on the sea in a rowing boat. Saw porpoises and a seal lifted its head out of the water. When we came back, the sun was setting, casting red and gold like an Indian marriage sari over the rippling waters. We hung the mackerel up in an old wardrobe with a small fire in it to smoke it.

Why are you rolling your eyes? There is nothing like a country boy. ;)

I know you will find this strange, but when a young lad is confronted with my cleavage, I am a bit surprised if he is getting excited about a tractor. :rolleyes:

Oh come now, a lad cannot be expected to be away from his bloved tractor for too long,
Can he ?

Nice to see a Canadian connection here, Massey started the farm machinery business in Ontario in 1847. It became Massey-Ferguson in 1953. Owns quite a few other farm machinery companies around the world. The Masseys were also socially and politically active, and even provided one of our Governors-General, Vincent Massey. The family has not only supported the arts and academia in Canada, they've provided many players. Walter, who died just last year, is well-remembered as the voice of the school principal in the Arthur series on PBS.

The GG is honoured by our very interesting annual series, The Massey Lectures, which will serve as my free association.
 
The local farmers' association hold a ploughing contest every year.
A couple of years ago, my pal & I went to take some pictures; it was fabulous.
I learned a lot about soil displacement and so on. We even got to have a go!

What we have not managed to do is to see the old ploughing under horse-power.
I look forward to the oportunity.

Down in The Cotswolds, my grandfather ploughed with a team of Clydesdales right up until a few days before he died. :)

It depends to a certain extent upon whether you mean the Bud of the USA or the Budweiser from Budovice (EU) (budweiser budvar). http://www.budweiserbudvar.co.uk/

When it's hot, I like some of the continental white beers.
